Day 25 Switzerland 13/10/2010 Basel and a very nice apartment!

As previously suggested the hangovers we woke up with were good ones. Good job we were only moving across the city this morning!

After a few trips back to the room we eventually got all our gear downstairs and attached to the bikes. We then set off on the brief trip across the river to Howard and Fiona's apartment. Their directions had been good and we found it without any trouble. Howard came down to meet us and helped us move our gear, while the bikes got locked safely in the garage.

It was fantastic to have the use of the washing machine, when we figured out how it worked! Plus we got loads of research done on our coming route and managed to locate some camp-sites along the way. Just having a bit of space and time to regroup has helped enormously.

Jeff came over in the afternoon and was joined by his girlfriend Lea later that evening, when Fiona cooked us all a lovely meal. We had a fantastic evening and we can't thank our hosts enough for their hospitality. We hope to see you all again sometime.

PS we hope your exam went well Howard.

  1. A second great evening for sure. Good luck with the next part of the journey - fingers crossed the weather holds of a little while longer.

    Hope to catch up with you again in the not too distant future :)
