Thank you for your interest Hugo. I am always a bit worried about posting about my travels because it isn't anything to do with the 3 Towns. I don't suppose Dave R and Ian would have put in a subject headed, "Travel, been anywhere nice?" if they didn't want subjects like that on here. I hope they will tell me if it isn't really a suitable topic.
I can't really contribute many things on the local subjects because I am new to the area but I do not want to only take and not give.
It is a lot easier and cheaper to travel in Europe now than in Judith Chalmers days!
I have spent the last couple of days in and around Basel courtesy of a £77 return air fare from Manchester to Basel with British Midland. Remarkable really when you think what it would have cost 15 or so years ago before the start of easyjet.
The first 4 pics are in Basel itself. The first two the town hall, the third is part of the roof of the cathedral and the fourth just a beautiful door!
The second set are of a hotel called Bad Schauenburg about 15 kms outside Basel.
The weather was glorious, bright sun and 31 degrees!
