Pamplona to home

Today it will all be over again for another year. We said goodbye to Pamplona after another gentle stroll round the impressive ramparts. The city's defenses have been well tested in its long history.By taxi to Bilbao although the taxi driver displayed a disconcerting lack of confidence that he knew where we were going - in particular his intensive study of the map as he negotiated the trickier junctions of the motorway elicited some comments from the back-seat. We stopped for petrol: who would have thought that my mastery of 'necessito gasolina' would have proved so apposite. We will be flying home from Bilbao this evening after a very successful couple of weeks during which we walked another 150 miles. Despite the state of our feet we will spend an hour or two at the Guggenheim Museum.
