Couldn't make Switzerland
Saturday June 3rd
Michelle and I decided to take a self-led excursion to Basel in Switzerland today. We have "Semester Tickets" which allow us not only to use the public transport in Freiburg itself, but also in the region!!
We missed the train - Switzerland was out of the question. So we went to France instead.
Colmar is a city I'd already visited during the language course in March (See March blog entries), but it was FREEZING cold at the time and I wanted to see it again in Summer. We caught the train to Breisach on the Rhine, which forms the German-French border here in the south, and spent half an hour there appreciating the difference summer makes, before taking the bus to Colmar. €3 each return!
We wandered around the city, enjoyed the bustling summer atmosphere, ate, and returned to the train station to take the bus back to Freiburg.
When we got there we discovered that we'd looked at the weekday timetable and our bus wasn't coming for another hour and a half! A good thing that we didn't miss it completely. We were however late for our dinner date with our foreign Freiburger friends.
