Aeschengraben 31 Basel, Basel, Switzerland, CH 4002, 61-275-6600
ok here we are in Switzerland. The train ride up was great yesterday. The hills with all the cows and sheep are just like the pictures. I think maybe this is where I will move. Things here are much slower paced than in Italy. Not sure about the food because we couldnt read the menu. We do thinnk it said something about deer meat, we did not eat there. More francs to the dollar but everything is very pricey. This afternoon we sat out on the roof of the boat and soaked up some sun and looked at...
Basel, Basel, Switzerland elkojeannieWell, after being given our challenge sheet on the start line we took around 5 minutes to work out what was actually quite a simple task We spent so much time concentrating on navigating away from Calais onto the correct motorway that we lost vital seconds of Scalliage!! The task was called "Battleships" whereby we had to take a snap of each and every Scally car we saw on the way to Basel, but the rules were that it had to be moving and obviously recognisable as a Scally car by the team numbe...

... 8217;s (Daniella) place for afternoon tea with her husband and 3 girls – Rahel, Anina and Leiana. They have a really nice house with a beautiful view of green rolling hills.. we ended up staying for dinner – spaghetti!
Megg and I planned to go to Interlaken and see the mountains the next day, but we unluckily landed a man at the train station ticket desk who knew nothing about Eurail passes. We knew that Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg are ...
... gave us a lot of information not on the signs and plaques next to the paintings. It took us about two hours to go through the collection with the guide as a companion. It was a really great exhibit; very informative and interesting. We learned a lot about Van Gogh during our time there and it was so cool to see how is talent progressed over time, along with his mental instability.
After the exhibit and mom ...
... que frontalier, les bâlois rechgignent clairement à parler Français, me prenant pour une Suisse qui ne fait pas d'effort. Ce n'est qu'en parlant de Sud de la France que j'arrive à faire admettre mes lacunes en allemand et à discuter avec la dame du Musée Juif, seul Musée de Bâle ouvert le lundi. Et bien sur. faire avant de repartir sur ...

Mulhouse, Alsace, France purplevelvetThis weekend from the 28th to 30th, Basel is celebrating Klosterbergfest. We decided to check it out last night after work with all our Brazilian friends. These Brazilians are always on the ball with Brazilian-type events and seem to know whenever a new Brazilian is in town, which is why I am continually meeting Brazilians.
Anyway, back to the festival. It was only 2 blocks from my ...
... a bottle of water. However there was none in sight so we considered to the ruins. They were not worth the hike! The remains of the amphitheatre are quite modest and under normal circumstances it would have probably been a delightful walk past farmers' fields and quaint village houses but today it was not rewarding in the least.
On the walk back to the car we took a different (and even longer) route past the Sanctuary on Greinmatt. This is where the ...
