Portugal and Bilbao

Thanks Andrew.

Great report, Andrew!

You're always so good about using public transportation; I really admire that. I can figure out city metro systems just fine, but local bus schedules are beyond me! (I don't even ride the bus in San Francisco. )

Belated Happy Birthday! Glad you got to spend it just as you planned.

Looking forward to reading it!

I really enjoyed this and the detail on transport should be of great help to those who are planning first visits and share the hankering for [or who need] public transport.
