Took the tram over to the Bilbao bus station, which has to be the absolute nicest bus station ever. Clean, places to eat, places to sit and well organized. Bus left exactly on time and arrived in Bayonne about 20 minutes early. Had time to use Bounce to store luggage near the station and then have a good lunch at a bistro that I have been to before in Bayonne. Then back, pick up luggage and just under 2 hour train ride to Bordeaux. Amazing when it all goes smoothly!! Immediately bought a 3 day transit pass and took the tram to my AirBnB. Very large, creaky wood floored apartment, in a convenient location. Only downside is that it is up 5 flights of stairs! Got a load of wash done. European washing machines are always a battle and although this one had a 20 minute program it was reluctant to release the door at the end. Eventually I turned it on and off and it let go. Not sure why every washer I have dealt with in Europe does not want to let you open the door. The internet in the apartment is about the same speed as mine in Seattle, 500mbps, which is wonderful after weeks of patchy wifi. Did some google research and off to find some oysters in the Chartrons neighborhood. The place I found had an oyster happy hour so, 1 euro per oyster! Then stopped in to my favorite wine bar, used to be Le Bistrot des Frerots now called La Bande de RoRo. They are so friendly and lots of regulars and good charcuterie and cheese, so that was dinner.
