Basel - The End

The Rhein with ferry.



Brrrrrrr









Remnants of Fasnacht.

Basel Münster - The Outside

I think my favorite part of the Basel Münster is the tile roof!

On the Border

The longest covered wooden bridge in Europe (200 meters) lies over the Rhein on the border of Switzerland and Germany.















Standing in two countries at once!

Basel Ferry

It's all powered by the flow of the water because it's attached to a line that goes across the Rhine (Rhein). It only takes a few minutes to cross and it feels much cooler on the water. I wanted to just keep crossing back and forth awhile, but we had things to see!



All the passengers and the boatman taking the fare.



The mighty Rhine.



People swimming in it.



People not swimming in it undoubtedly wishing they were (like I was 'cause it was so hot).



Gibby was excited to be on the boat as well.



However, both DeeDee and Gibby had fun on the other side!
