170502 Fun in Basel City

On the 2nd of May, 2017, at about 11:00am, Auntie Ruth drove us to Basel. We went to a park to park our car and from there we went to Museum fur Geschichte. We were told it was a cathedral but it is now used as a restaurant and a museum. We saw some instrument used in the chemical industry also in the museum and we were told that men in those time were mainly in the production of chemicals and that were some of the instrument they use.

We went to big fountain from there, we sat there to eat something and it will surprise you the kind of visitors we got to join us. It was the pigeons, they could even fly and land on our hands to eat what was in our palm, it was beautiful. After eating we went to the Elizabert Church and the church was beautiful, from there we come to the train station to meet Auntie Ruth's sister, Auntie Kathrin who was very nice like her sister. She was very nice and friendly, we chat and had a meal with us and from there we passed by a shop and Auntie Kathrin bought us shirts, they are very beautiful.




We went to this big cathedral close to the Rhein river which has the Georgs Tower with Georg on the horse piercing a dragon's mouth with an arrow and Martins Tower with Martin sharing his clothes to the poor. We went round it and finally decided to climb high to the Georgs tower, but unfortunately Auntie Kathrin had to leave for an appointment so the three of us climb to the highest top of Georgs tower and it was beautiful with the archetecture high there. I was marveled with what I saw. We came down from there to take a ferry to cross the Rhein river to Basel small city from Basel big city. We walked along the river, passed on a bridge to the car park and from there we came back home.
