This is the final entry regarding the city of Basel. The night before we left town, we went to Circus Knie. Again, your seating was predetermined when purchasing tickets. And it started right on time. It was nice to see the animals and the gymnasts do their stunts, but my swiss-german wasn't up to speed to the point that I could follow some of the running jokes regarding the feud between Zurich and Basel residents. The audience loved it though.





Another favorite treat of mine is marzipan, and usually I see it in every shape, style and color. I was on the hunt during those three days to see the variety, but found very little actually. It's hard to imagine that June is an off-month, but perhaps it is more of a winter offering. Breakfast at Frey's was nice, but even they had hardly any marzipan on display. It was nice to have a Schoki wegge (Croissant filled with bits of swiss chocolate) with my coffee, and see the Bahnhof (train station) across the road.











It was great to visit 'home' again.

And from the Tinguely Brunnen (perpetual motion fountain) I posted in Part 4, here's nice clip I found that isn't mine:
