Day 8 - Basel, Switzerland

Day 8, May 2, Wednesday - docked at 2am and they call that a “day”?

Viking people were so good at rearranging our return to USA on a short notice. I will summarize as follows: Arose at 4am to catch a $50 cab ride to Basel, Switzerland, train station (driver: which station? Me: How many are there? Driver: 3 Me: no idea. (we look over the tickets in the dark and he spots correct station. This is all in German which he barely speaks and no English; said he was from Serbia) where we catch the train (199 kilometers per hour) to Frankfurt airport to catch a plane to Amsterdam, to fly to Boston, to catch an UBER, to take us back to our car at Halliwell's to drive back to Canton. We make it in time for my 3pm Dr. appointment where I begin to heal, barely as of now.

 

Late entry, May 7, diagnosed with pneumonia this morning and now on powerful antibiotic.

TILL NEXT ADVENTURE. DAVE WRITING, LISA TAKING PHOTOS.

Having hot chocolate in Switzerland train station - not many photos in Switzerland as we woke up at 4 am to get a taxi to the train station at 5:15 for a 6:08 departure to Frankfurt
