Yes we are at Basel in northern Switzerland and enjoying the best of three countries at once.
Each morning I bike to the local French bakery for fresh croissants, then we wander over the River Rhine into Germany for groceries and bike to Switzerland for culture and art. What bliss!
Today we lunched at a German pub and what a feast! Weiner schnitzel - it was so enormous and we washed it down with fine German Ale.
WOW just as I am writing this the skies opened and dropped giant hailstones on us!! I went into complete panic mode on Mildred's behalf and wanted to quickly move more under the tree beside us, we were too late as a car got there first. Instead we were partly shielded by the tree and we used our bodies, mainly Daryl's head! The stones were huge!!
See the where Daryl came of second best trying to head-butt a hail stone.
I hope that's the last of that as my heart can't handle that again. At this stage we think (hope) Mildred is un-scarred. Lucky we still weren't out on our pushbikes.
