Day 195 - Tarts!

Stuhlingen - Gasthof Hotel Krone

We travelled back into Switzerland today to visit Basel, another picturesque city, that had a bakery with wonderful raspberry tarts (according to M) - why don't all tarts contain this much jam? It was also kind of weird (in a nice way) - first we saw some strange performance going on in a cafe where people were walking around singing to themselves, then while we were trying to figure out what was going on, two scantily clad girls walked past done up completely in black skin paint (we had no idea what they were selling).

It was also a very nice day, not what we would think was swimming weather, but to the citizens of Basel it was a perfect day to float down the swiflty flowing river.

We headed back over the border into Germany for a drive through the Black Forest, along with hundreds of motorcyclists - the area is obviously a favourite for motorbikes. The scenery was beautiful, some of the towns and houses were quite pretty, and we finished up back in Stuhlingen for a second night.
