I spent four wonderful (and slightly melting) days in Basel last week. It seems to be a really nice city with lots of winding medieval streets with glimpses of the Rhine flowing down below. The trip was mostly filled with beer, walking, sitting by the river, dodging in and out of shops and filling in crosswords. The search for a flat wasn't so fruitful, but I have gotten over the low point and have started sending out e-mails again, so we shall see!
