Switzerland-Day Thirteen-Basel

Our last full day in Switzerland, as tomorrow will be a travel day. 

Jovan and Tamara's daughter, Ivana Sofia, had a little cold, so they took her to the doctor for a check up.

We borrowed a couple bikes from Jovan and rode around Basel. Basel was by far the biggest and most confusing city we visited in Switzerland (Geneva is bigger but we never left the airport/train station).  The roads are narrow, winding, and full of light rail street cars. We made it to the Rhine River and then rode along it for a bit.

We made it back to Jovan's just before the rain started coming down. 

Jovan then met us and we headed to Germany for lunch. Germany and France are right on the border in Basel, and Germany is much cheaper than Switzerland. We ate at an Italian restaurant in Germany (ironic but really good and much cheaper than Switzerland). 

We headed back to Jovan's and packed up our things, had an awesome home cooked meal and went to bed. 

Our last day will compose of getting up at 6am local time, taking a train to Zurich, taking a flight to Toronto, and then a flight to San Diego. We will land in San Diego approximately 24 hours after leaving Basel.
