The early bird...

I easily covered everything I wanted to see in quaint, little Basel within a day. I wandered along cobble-stoned lane ways, came across several interesting fountains, added to my postcard collection and enjoyed the best pretzel ever... All in all, a lovely (tip-of-the-iceberg) introduction to Switzerland :)


Something compelled me to go back down to the river early Sunday morning... I could have slept an extra hour. I could have stayed in the hostel to read about Swedish security policy. I chose to return to the river instead.


The river Rhine may not be the most beautiful in the world but it was deeply soothing. Listening to the twittering of birds, I wrote letters to the ones I love and felt my worries carried downstream in a swirl of autumn leaves...
