In the afternoon of one of the days we were staying outside of Basel, Switzerland on our European Pretzel this past summer, we decided to go into town for a walkabout.

It was an extremely hot afternoon with the sun blazing away and we chose to end our sizzling walk before we hit many of the sights I had planned for us to wander by, if only for the sake of our poor four-legged family member. We did explore along and over the Rhine and by the Kunstmuseum before we bought a Wickelfisch (a waterproof bag of sorts that locals use to keep their clothing dry as they float down the river) for half of our quartet to use later that evening as they went back to cool off with a river float.

In the morning a couple days later, we purposely went early to walk the dog near a water tower in a Basel suburb, the Wasserturm Bruderholz, and I explored the inside as well, using our only Euro coin for automated entry.

Here are some images taken around Basel in the last week of June.
