... so off we went and got some swiss chocolate instead it was a big marshmallow covered in chocolate yum yum. We went to the supermarket and got some food to take back to the hotel instead Ian had wanted this pasta dish that the german couple we met in sorrento had told us about so he got that and tried it. We also got the tickets for our train to Geneva tomorrow and emailed the Riad in Marrakesh. <br><br> <br>

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 ...

... trunk and backseat, we said goodbye. It was a bit sad for me but mom had a really hard time. This is somewhat amusing as when I moved here, she didn't shed a tear when I left, but cried like a baby when Lincoln left later when my sister came to visit.<br><br>Anyway, finally they got in the car and I joined the man by the exit so we could wave them along the way. The entire trip mom and dad joked about how happy they are I was with them because without me they just get ...

... So i had to wait 5 hours for the next available train. Got some paella in the that time. Mother, you have approximately 5 months to learn how to make a good paella. <br><br>Once I arrived in Barca, that night, I tried to book my seat on a train to Montpellier only for the guy to tell me that there's no trains available for 2 nights and thats on first class which is extra money. This train wasn't going to get me there on time, so i ...

... my single suitcase and don't have much else to do in my apartment. Now I just have to get myself a bank account and health insurance, but today I'm not going to get either of those because it seems to be a holiday for banks and insurance agencies. So instead I am going to utilize my transit pass and check this city out a bit more.

... Briton and I went for a drink after work, and then met up with a woman from their Geneva office. The three of us had dinner and a couple more drinks, and walked around the city. The Briton told us all sorts of great tidbits and pointed out cool places and good bars. It was a lot of fun. Now I am just getting ready for bed as I have to work tomorrow! Hopefully I can actually get something working before my review. As we walked around the ...

... during our journey... The trip was over pretty quickly thanks to the new LGV Est-Europeen and we arrived into Basel SBB station at 9:15pm. Naturally our first task was to get to the hotel so we followed the tram signs, just out to the wrong side of the station. Undeterred we looked at a map on the single tram stop at the southern end of the station and walked down the road to another stop where the route 2 (which run to our hotel at Messeplatz) stops. Unfortunately when we ...

Hi Kids! I'm back in Basel, Switzerland -it's a beautiful city. The Rhine River divides the city so there are many bridges. The ferry pictured in the lower left is attached to a high cable and moves accross the river as the current pushes on the rudder. The cable keeps it from going down river. No motor, so it's a quet and clean form of transportation. Auf wiedersehen! RED
