The Old City of Basel is on the Southern side of the Rhine. There are several bridges that cross it, as we have seen previous pictures.
A Bridge has stood in this location on since A.D. 1206. Known as the Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge), was replaced in A.D. 1905 to allow the weight of trams.
A copy of the original shrine of Käppelijoch, where criminals were condemned to death:
Pretzel on the other side of the bridge. It was delicious.
Ricola cough drops in Switzerland. If you are old enough, you know.
A Vespa store. This was the most European thing ever to me.
I suspect I will have a man yelling Ricola echoing inside my brain for the better part of today.
