BASEL, SWITZERLAND.


We spent one day in Basel, visiting a family friend who now lives there.  The train from Freiburg was about one hour, and it was very easy.  This was my first time in Switzerland.  One thing I noticed is how crazy expensive everything was.  At a restaurant we went to, a bowl of soup was 19 euros!  We ate at a Thai restaurant for lunch, and then headed back to Freiburg for dinner.  Crazy!  It was a lovely city though, and we had a great time touring around by foot.  The only downside is that we went on a Sunday and most things were closed.  The architecture was really pretty and quaint, and there was something peaceful about walking around on a quiet Sunday.  Oh, and I bought a lot of chocolate!






Lovers put their locks on this small fence like in Paris.

The old city hall was ornate and beautiful with cool sculptures.

Quiet streets.
