Basque Country Boulevardiers

Setting off at 0545 for the blast down the motorway to Portsmouth, we enjoyed glorious sunshine all the way and a chilled cruise to Bilbao awaits, although the ferry only set off an hour later than expected.
Last time, we ate in the restaurant, but most of the bar this year had been taken over by the drunken cast of TOWIE, so we decided to shun the Restaurant du Port, sought seclusion and had a salad and a bottle of wine instead.
Fortunately, the sea is as calm as a millpond, maybe restoring Mrs W's confidence in matters nautical?

Tomorrow's an easy day, berthing in Bilbao and a short ride into the city to the Silken Gran Hotel Domine, and likely as not a trip round the Guggenheim in the afternoon.
