Back from my travels - week 1

Back again from 2 weeks travelling. Week 1 was in Basel. Spent a nice weekend attempting to ski (terrible and unpredictable weather conditions) in Saanen/Gstaad. Week 2 was in Buonas by Lake Lucerne.

Meanwhile, look at the pretty little ballerina! (Photo taken on Feb 3rd).



And here's a pix of grumpy-faced Marlis when she realized that she was going to be dining out in restaurants every night I am away.

Ina and Fabian waited for me at the Basel SBB, as per routine. I don't know how I would adjust to Basel time if it weren't for Ina (and Fabian)!




Here's the view of Barfuesserplatz (Bare foot square) from my hotel room. I always stay at Hotel Brasserie Au Violon when I am in Basel. The staff there are the friendliest I have ever encountered.
Ina and I did our usual, went to Piadina Bar and got ourselves piadina and walked around Basel. Then we went to our favourite shop. Mouton a cinq pattes and checked out the designer duds for sales. I bought a gorgeous coat there and was glad for the extra space in the suitcase. Then we went and hung out at Ina's place until very very late.

The second day was spent hanging out with Jenny, Elia, and Patrick. Also stayed out very very late.

Day 3, went to yoga and then met Julia for dinner. Ate a nice meal at Da Gianni's over by St-Johann.

Day 4, went over to Ina's for tea and then met up with Cornelia and Andreas for drinks, ate at this new sushi/Japanese place called Noohn and then more drinks at Unternehmen Mitte. Was again a very very late night.

Oh yeah, I also had to work during the day...
