Basel, Switzerland
Immediately following my workcamp in the lovely Ticino area I was in contact with Eva from my Mannenbach workcamp. I remember having some issues with getting my PinCity phone card to work, I couldn't remember my code or something. In any event, I finally got a hold of her on the 31st of August so after a tearful goodbye to all my volunteer friends, I made my way via train to Basel, Switzerland. Basel is really a great town, but I only took a few photos of a fountain. The first day we went to visit Eva's boyfriend in the hospital. Earlier in the year he had broken his leg in a car accident, so he was returning to remove a rod the good Swiss doctors had used to heal his broken bone that had been irritating him. One evening Eva and I made it to see a movie, this same movie Lea, Gerry and I saw while I was in Scotland: Eye of the Black Tiger, or something like this. But this time it had French and subtitles! Great movie non-the-less. Basel was really a great layover before I made my way back to the Czech Republic. Thanks Eva for letting me stay in your home!
