Lucky day in Basel

Yesterday Jutta, Alexandra and I headed to Basel for some shopping and to spend the day together. It was really rainy and the weather for driving wasn't that good. There was a lot of traffic, many people were heading skiing. Even Basel was really rainy. We walked around in and out of stores, the city felt quite empty. We stopped by to get some delicious pretzels and then we found this great shoe store. They had a very nice selection, especially Tod's loafers and everything 20 per cent off! Can you believe that? Of course I had to buy a pair and the ladies found some shoes too! ;)

Strolling out happy about our lucky findings we headed for the bridge and took a "ferry" from the other side of the river Rhine to the Münster church. Back in the center we found a nice little Italian restaurant where we sat down and relaxed a bit. It was time to get back on the road and we headed for the Dreiländerdeck. This is a point where you can literally be in three countries (Switzerland, Germany and France) at the same time, but not many people know about it since it's a bit hidden. 

On our way back to Oberkirch we talked and listened to a Finnish singer Laura Voutilainen. We got back and then it was time to make dinner. But more about that later! :)
