Twice as hot and twice as nice

Saturday was a fabulous day in all respects.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous, hitting around 85 - 90 F with beautiful blue cloudless skies.

This made Bilbao about twice as hot as Brighton and twice as nice :) 

This is in complete contrast to when I was here just a month or so ago for Semana Santa when the weather was absolutely miserable and if it only rained I was lucky. But that's Bilbao.

Anyway the day started with Vespa Chica and myself discovering a new way to cut down on our mobile bills by opening our respective windows in el resi and just shouting at each other :) Much easier.

At around 12 VC - who now owns every Vespa thing available on the commercial market in England - and I went into Casco Viejo to meet up with her friends ( see pics below) and we spent a lovely afternoon just chatting in Plaza Nueva and sitting outside a bar in CV.

If there is a nicer way to spend a day I don't know what it is.
