There is yet another fair in Basel right now, the Herbstmesse (Autumn Fair). It is huge! Carnival rides, food stalls, and booths selling trinkets are spread throughout the city. We went out at night to the Münsterplatz to see the action. Beforehand we visited Petersplatz to get raclette over potatoes and steaming Gluwein. Delicious! We also stopped in at the Barf ...

We got back in Basel late yesterday afternoon. We had lots of time to sort out our luggage and for mom and dad to repack for their journey today. Today it was time to say good-bye. They are driving back to Paris and flying home midday tomorrow. I had parked their rental car in an underground garage right by my apartment. We all walked down to the garage together, Lincoln included, with their assortment of suitcases and carry-ons. Once we managed to squeeze everything in ...

... 40 minutes late and i arrived at 3:30ish at Montpellier. <br>At Montpellier i had to book a seat on train number 3 to Lyon, but i had to go 1st class because 2nd class was booked out. 1st class isnt all that flash, definately not worth the extra 20 euro, the seats are wider and thats it. Train Number 3 had track problems, always fun.<br>Train Number 4 was to Geneva at 7:04. They only decided to tell us which platform the ...

... the border to both German and France, so there is a point where all 3 countries come together: The 3 country corner. The Rhine river flows right through Basle and makes a 90° turn to the right, to the north in the center of Basel Basel is home to the Bank of International Settlements- the bank that handels the huge payments between countries.

This was what I really came to Europe for. Freiburg was just the beginning of an awesome adventure for me. The mountains and the forest and the cake. We caught a cable car up to the top of the mountain and wandered in the snow. Got some great photos. We made Freiburg our base and toured a fair bit around the region. Spent a night here and there and came back to Freiburg for the festival. Took about two hundred photos in two hours one day; they had a ...

... this is a big change for me and want me to be sure I want it. I don't know if I will have a chance for an update tomorrow as I check out, go to work, and then grab my flight back to London where I am whisked away to Auntie Anne and Uncle Gary's, then to the airport the following morning. But I promise to update you all when I get home if I haven't before then so you don't have to wait too long for the exciting conclusion to my Swiss interview.

... later on dad and I walked into town to see if we could watch a Schnitzelbank (funny name; it's a particular type of live comedy where (usually one or two) people dressed in carnival attire poke fun at recent political events - and more often than not do so with the accompaniment of a guitar or similar). Unfortunately, being Tuesday and therefore the day of the children's carnival, we couldn't find any ...

... like in Zurich, with a variety of stock that is reminiscent of Zurich, Vienna and Melbourne. They come very frequently, speed along at a good pace and everyone uses them. Many streets are bascially just tram tracks with bitumen around them, nobody dares drive through there unless they have to because the trams are so good and so frequent. Even when we arrived the trams were running every 15 minutes, all the way up until midnight. Our hotel was nice, with a large room and ...
