Day 1 - The cycle ride Photos


 If anyone can find out who designed this bridge just down the river path from the Guggenheim, I pint will be waiting (in a month mind!)
 If I say this is the Foster Metro, and am told otherwise, could be embarrasing. Looks cool anyway
 The view after 4 hours of climbing out towards the coast.

 Altube - 638 meters height. I admitted to pushing my bike up the hill the previous 20 minute. With an incline of 9%, my legs have limits. So releived it levelled out. Was out of water too, but a kind lady refilled my bottles in the only house for about an hour.
View of mountain range a few miles downt the road..stunning and worth the climb

 The map here shows the route and K´s travelled in Day 1...
 ...Still a way to go!!..haha
 First night in nice hotel!...
The hotel....

Sorry for the blurry images. I will try and sort that out....

  3. Hi Chris
    Sounds like you're doing brilliantly ... really interesting architectural snippets. Keep it up!
    If you haven't yet found out who designed that bridge in Bilbao, it was:

    Campo Volantin Bridge
    aka Pasarela Zubi Zuri / The White Footbridge
    - by Santiago Calatrava Valls

    Check it out at www.calatrava.com/main.htm under past projects.

    Cheers, Jerry
