We next stayed a night in Basel, as we had arranged to meet up with Bob's brother and a friend the next day for a wee roadtrip. We paused in our train journey from Lucerne to Basel in a little town called Zofingen - a pretty place with some lovely buildings and fountains and even a comfortable bench to snooze on!
Basel is a busy place. It was a hot day when we arrived, and we had a very warm walk from the station to an odd little hostel in a converted industrial warehouse. After a rest we did some exploring of the town - we found some cool chocolate shops and had a look inside the church.
The next morning we trundled our luggage into town to sit on some steps and eat breakfast, then made our way to a market square: Petersplatz (there was supposed to be a weekend market there, anyhow, but there wasn't). We appropriated a bench facing the road and took turns going for a wander while we waited for the boys. They arrived promptly in a car (yay!) and wandered downtown with us for a quick look. It was funny - they kept pointing out the lovely old buildings which we had become somewhat blasé about - we only respond to really amazing ones now :o)
