The Guggenheim....

Day 9: Last full day in Bilbao, in Spain and in Europe

I woke up this morning expecting to feel better. Boy was I wrong! Even though I wish it wouldn't end, it is probably a good thing that our journey is winding down. I managed to get some breakfast and get ready for the day. I decided to join the group rather than staying in the hotel alone.

The biggest part of the day was going to the Guggenheim Museum. What a place! I was disappointed that we were not allowed to take any photos inside the museum. I'm not exactly sure for this reasoning. The Guggenheim is one of the most "interesting" places I have ever been. It was nothing like I expected. I expected it to be similar to the Louvre. Compared to the Louvre, the Guggenheim is exactly the opposite. Everything there was far from anything I had seen before.

We were able to get through the museum in about 2 hours or so. It was only three floor and not very big. In the two hours, I was able to see everything and still have time to spare.

The rest of our day in Bilbao was a free day. I did a lot of sitting while others did some shopping. Eventually we made it back to the hotel for our final meal in Spain. Before eating, I took a nap, wrote some emails and got ready. Now comes the good news.....

My fever finally broke!!! Somewhere, somehow, sometime during my nap....I finally started getting rid of this fever. After a few days of it, I was thrilled! I was able to enjoy the last meal with the group and eat plenty of food. After eating, almost everyone went back to their rooms to start packing once again. I was able to pack both of my suitcases and get to bed at a decent time. Tomorrow begins early and will be super long and full of flights.

4:30 AM is quickly approaching.....
