Hello mommy
Yesterday morning we had to get up very early. At 7 clock we sat on the train.





Our first stop was Zurich. There, we had just enough time to photograph the station





and to find out where the journey takes. We will travel to Basel. Basel is one of the oldest cities in Switzerland, located on the River Rhine. The city, near the border with Germany and France is known for its chemical industry. After our arrival in Basel,



we saw only a few steps from the train station Strasbourg Monument



and the Bank for International Settlements.



Our route took us to Elisabeth church



next to the Theatre. We had a short break at the Tinguely fountain.





This fountain, called Fasnacht Fountain was a gift of a great food discounter to the city of Basel.



Then we saw the Basel Cathedral,





located on the cathedral hill high above the Rhine. We had a magnificent view of the river and part of the city.



The skyscrapers that you see in the center of the image, is the fair tower.



Through narrow streets



we found our way to the river Rhine. We crossed the "Middle Bridge" and could see the old town from the other side.





On our way back we saw the red city hall.









It was built in 1504-1514. After these many impressions we were exhausted and slept through the journey home. I hope you like Basel as much as I.
