Central Basel

EasyJet flew us in from Rome and after a bit of a delay we arrived in Basel at about 4pm. My Aunty Erika surprised us by meeting us at the Airport which was really nice – I love familiar faces! We caught the bus and tram to her place in Binningen and had a light dinner, chatted and watched telly. We were in 'my' old room that Lucy and I had last time - it was really nice to be somewhere familiar!

... 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 ...

Most of the way you didn't really have to walk as you got pulled along in the current of bodies.

We checked out all the little African shops and stopped to watch cooking displays and mini dance routines.

... car to leave, skipping the museum. Once we were back in air conditioned comfort we reflected on the day and thought maybe we should try the amphitheatre as well. We tried to drive there but either it is inaccessible by car or we were very lost. I think in fact the case is both.

We went back to the theatre and parked there then walked the kilometre to the amphitheatre. This is about the time that we would have all been willing to consider kill one another ...

Finally, we throw below a quick list of the things/items we took with us on this trip (many never used, but we’re sure that we would have needed them if we wouldn’t have taken them with us):

... good 15 minutes luckily we got there an hour before the game started. Ive never seen so much passion at a sporting event in my life. Theres the superbowl in the u.s. but it doesnt even compare. My sis and i got to go on the field and get our picture taken at halftime. This experience alone has made my entire trip worth it not to mention all the other cool **** ive done. Unfortunately we couldnt ...

... s orifices are obscured by tubing, he has no chance. A patient "giving the O-sign" is very ill, lying with his mouth open. This is followed by the Q-sign -- when the tongue hangs out of the mouth -- when the patient becomes terminal. General practitioners may use LOBNH (Lights On But Nobody Home) or the impressively bogus Oligoneuronal to mean someone who is thick. But they also have a poetic option: Pumpkin positive ...
