Basel, Switzerland

After our two hectic days in Lyon we travelled by train to Basel, Switzerland, which took 2 1/2hours by train. On arrival to Basel we caught two trams
to our air B &B accomodation, met our lovely host Dianna and her family, then off to explore the city and do the Xmas markets.
Basel has been voted the 8th best Xmas markets.
The markets were great to visit, Cara and I had mulled wine and explored the markets, no purchase made, as there was nothing special that appealed to me.
What we all noticed was how expensive everything was from food to the mulled wine.

It was very cold -2degrees, my fingers were frozen, after the markets we had dinner and set off back to our accomodation.

The next morning after a delicious breakfast we caught the tram into town to do many of the city walks on offer, we walked along the river and got the punt across to visit the Munster Cathedral.

Looks very pretty at night.

Over all we loved visiting Basel, but felt that it is a very expensive city .
