Note from Tory: Basel Switzerland

Friday, February 19, 2010

Travel day

I am at a McDonalds iinternet cafe: crapppy keyboard but a fraction of the cost of internet in Grindelwald!



This morning I caught an early train to Interlaken where I ditched my bag andd took a long stroll throuugh town between the train stations. To my delight I foundd a fondou place that served single portions and had a rich and decadent lunch. So yummy! Espppecially the burnt bits at the bottom of the pot :-)



Two hour train and I ariived in Basel, a quirky town with personaliy to spare. I worked off some off my lunch wandering lost in thhe old town before a nice hotel lady pointed me to thhe bus to the Tinguely Museuum, recommended in my guidebook. This Basel artist created cool moving sculptures out of industrial scrap and spare household objects. You stand on a little red dot to animate the thing, spin and shuddder andd make squeeky noises. Really fun, hard to photo.



Tonight I am on the ovvernight train to Berlin.



Love you! T
