We were off to England for the weekend, but instead of flying from Munich we decided to catch the train to Basel and fly from there. It is right at the corner of Switzerland, France and Germany and had a very cosmopolitan feel to it.
We headed for the river and had a picnic lunch along the bank watching people float past towards France with the strong current. Although it was a warm day the water would still have been freezing.
The never ending search for a toilet (why can't girls hold it?) took us into the town hall which was fairly wildly decorated.
After lunch we made our way into the old town. There were lots of narrow winding streets uphill which eventually led to this church overlooking the river. It looked as though a wedding was about to take place with wine and food scattered about the courtyard. Not a bad spot for a wedding.
There were lots of narrow buildings with shops all the way along selling things at outrageous Swiss prices. Swiss watches cost more here than they do in Australia.
We had the rest of the afternoon to relax, and with Kate feeling sick I decided it was best to head to a local pub and re-hydrate before our flight.
