Eskerika - Portugalete (en)

This day was quite hard for me. Not just for the kilometres, nor for the environment (from Bilbao there is quite long way along the industrial area, about 8-9 kilometres around plants, warehouses and factories...) But in general, things were going a little bit wrong and at the end of the day I was thinking what I was doing there and whether I shouldn't just turn back and go home...I didn't.

Honestly, I don't remember much from Bilbao (maybe just the nice cathedral they have there and very nice hill/leisure time park above the city) nor from Portugalete. It is all caused by the fact that that day I wasn't feeling that well.

But sure Bilbao is worth visiting as well as Portugalete. In the second mentioned one there is, for example, one very interesting thing - a gondola over the river which takes people and cars to the other side. It was build in the 19th century (more about it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vizcaya_Bridge).

So, today I survived, but assured myself in the decision to keep going. And all the things seem to be better in the morning...
