Solothurn




There are some mountains just south of Basel, the Jura. You may have heard of the word jurassic? That's because they found dinosaurs in them there hills. Anyway, today I didn't visit them. I went a little bit south (via Olten) to visit Katie, who is an assistant in Solothurn.

It's not a big city. Nor a big town by UK standards if we're honest. But it is really nice to look at. It's prevailing theme is "baroque" and the streets are lined with beautiful houses and churches, all set up against the Aare.

As it's still Advent, we spent the time wandering around and drinking Glühwein. What else would we do? We have made more energetic plans to visit the Jura once the snow goes away...
