11th May - Bilbao - Waiting for the ride home in the morning - Day 63

They saaid there was no need to leave the campsite until 2pm so we made the most of it and left just before then.

We had originally planned to aim for an aire just outside the city of Bilbao but then I read online that you can overnight at the ferry terminal so we decided to do that. They did advise that you should not arrived before 4pm or later than 7pm, that gave us enough time to stop at a Mercadona and buy some things for the ferry journey. We also had enough time to select a route toll free and drive through the countryside, that was a great decision. The scenery was fantastic.

When we did get to Bilbao the heavens opened and it poured down, visibility was terrible and eventually we missed a turning and had to navigate some very narrow roads before we could get back on track. Job done and now we are here, cup of tea to recover, rest wine dinner and bed. 

Brittany ferries Galicia arrives tomorrow morning to sail us home. Shit.
