Domino #5 has been placed

To claim Domino #5, you need to visit the Basque region of Spain. Specificially the city of Bilbao. This one is one of those hunts that'll cost you a few €. The domino is placed in the exterior portion or the Maritime Museum tour but it's worth the 5€ just to visit the museum making sure you see the film/slideshow presentation. After you visit the interior, you exit the building to visit the docks. The docent explains all of this when you buy your ticket. There are a couple of boats you can explore while down in the docks. The domino is on the Auntz which is the one farthest away from where you entered the docks. When you are on board the boat, go below deck to the most forward section. There are four berths. Forward of each berth is a little cupboard. The domino is on the right, in the very back of the cupboard of the lower berth on the starboard side.

This domino was hidden on Nov 21st. I don't think the Auntz is going anywhere soon but I really have no way of knowing that for sure. As far as I could tell, it looked pretty much like a permanent part of the Maritime Museum collection.

If you happened upon this domino, congratulations! It is yours to keep. Read on to find out if that really means anything to you or not. Regardless of that, if you have found it, please email me so that I can let others know that it is out of circulation. Thank you.
