Basel, Switzerland

We saw some really nice places on this tour but this town was very friendly! The highlight for was drifting down the Rhine river with Quinn with our newly acquired, bright orange, water proof sacks which we could only purchase at one place on the river. We discovered that, of course, after we'd walked a mile up the river to the starting place. So we walked back, got our bags, then walked up river again. Did I mention it was the hottest day in Europe? You see you need the bags to put your clothes, shoes and other items in while you drift down the river. The current is deceptively strong so then the bag, which inflates after you seal it, acts as a buoy to hang onto. The river embraces you as you ride down under the bridges and past all the historic buildings. We even past a nakey beach. All men so I guess it's a gay nakey beach. I tried not to look but well...I did. Anyway, we rode about a mile and half before making our way to the edge of the river and back into the city streets, clothes safely dry in our cool new bags.
