day 6, basel

after me meal yday went and sat by the river Rhein, which was gorgeous, the sun was setting and people running over this massive bridge were silhoeted like something off a film. sat there till it got dark, then went back to my room. was in a 6 bed male dorm last night, same again today and met some amazing people, 2 germans, a canadian, a pole and a slovakian. one of the germans were doing somethingincredible, he was cycling from his home in germany to the south of italy i believe, mostly camping, riding between 80-150kms every day for 3 and a half weeks. he said it's the best thing he's ever done, and he was really interesting and good company. Slept like a baby over night, this morning met Mio for breakfast which was reallygood, then set off for basel, just wondering around, jumping on and off trams, seeing mazing architecture. i love switzerland, it's lovely, so clean, fresh, lovely people, there's water fountains everywhere that you can drink out of. it is expensive though, but they do have a aldi! sat by the river on the other side for a couple of hours, a stunning neighbourhood, with a clay court tennis club, outdoor metal table tennis tables, lovely parks, great views and no one erally about. everyhouse was like something out of grand designs. i've booked my train ticket to bern for tomorrow, and got 1 night accomadation sorted in a hostel down the road by the station. this hostel i'm in at the mo is insane, will def be coming back!i'm now going to go for a swim in the river, have a shower and meet mio for dinner at 7, again in the hostel because it was soo good and much better value. have to go because running out of battery, and switzerland have slightly different plugs which my one doesn't fit in, damn them, i'll forgive em though, because it is so damn lovely.
