    What a wonderful journey you are taking me on! Thank you so much for sharing your bravery (no money, no own transport, and don't speak the language); your ever-enthusiastic spirit of adventure; and the joy of everything that is coming back to you - and especially Jo whose smile is infectious 🙏😊. I am in awe at William's vocabulary! How many other small toddlers know what a flower is??? Thank you for showing more of Bilbao than the inside of the Guggenheim Museum. Sleep well . . . see you tomorrow!!

He said he had a 50 thousand pound trust fund that he received every year 😂😂 no joke 😂😂 Nice family these are, can't fault em but to say ' no money ' lol your joking arnt you ....

It's really a shame you three couldn't have settled in for a few weeks, rented a small place and really taken in the sites, sounds and food! It looks like you enjoyed your trip and by gosh, you did it proper cheaply with the Air points. Good think'n! .... I see a return trip in your future! xxx 🚢🌞🐠💃🕺👵

    Bilbao is an absolutely wonderful city. If, when you go next again, the best time to have a look around the museum is first thing in the morning, it’s gets very busy. I love the city and the people and I’ve always said they have the best tapas in the whole of Spain. Those plates are to die for, you can really eat well. Made me laugh when you said you didn’t have any cash on you….so funny. Looking forward to your next vlog. Hearing your wee one speak is such a joy, he’s coming along leaps and bounds. Take good care, God bless.

    Love Bilboa. Half of it was built by my dad. Bilboa was built on steel industry, and was full of blast furnaces, much the same as the north of England. It reinvented itself after the collapse of the steel industry and became a cultural centre for arts and film industry. Shame you didn’t get a chance to go the old port in Getxo. You will find that all transport in Spain is like this, if you go to Madrid it has easily one of the best metros in the world. Valladolid, wine and rugby country. Yes rugby it’s the rugby centre of Spain, about the only place in Spain you won’t hear people talking about football in the bars. Played at Pepe rojo many a time. Have fun and enjoy the food.

    On that bit about walking to town, being young and healthy enjoy walking as much as you can; it is an excellent way to connect with and experience your location. Nice thing about traveling between England and Spain is that jet lag is a non-issue, only 1 hour time difference.
