I'm spending one night in Basel. It's really charming, though it's hard to tell how much of that is based on the fact that I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. (Insomnia and early trains don't mix)
But I took a pda audio walking tour (ain't technology great?) and rode across the river on a cable boat. And I bought a watch. A Swiss watch. But really, other than the different money, it's much the same as a similar-sized German town.
The hostel is quite nice though. Except for the three dozen children running around. There must be some sort of scouting trip or something. But my room looks out over the river and I do so love rivers...
It's going to take 8 hours on the train to get me to Venice tomorrow, so I really hope I can get some sleep tonight.
