Basel the little city that could....

Warm up your heart! I arrived in Basel two days ago and spent it with my friend Nicole whom I met on the train during my first week in Europe. Being a border city of course we had to check out the border between Switzerland, Germany and France. I got a personal tour with Nicole. We also randomly passed through an artistic commune on our way and found some cool graffiti that resemble something Banksy would do.

Later in the day we met up with Nicole's sister and her friend and wandered around the city together. Basel as a city feels super safe. As soon as I stepped out of the train I could feel it. It is the most non touristy town I have been on my trip and it feels like I have been here forever with my personal guide taking me and showing me around the city.

Too bad the spear was stuck into the group :( 

Banksy like graffiti

I left today in the morning for Amsterdam and looked forward to high times on bikes.


Peace from Basel.
