So, another boring travelling day. Started off going from Freiburg to Basel, Switzerland…let me explain. Basel is the point between Switzerland, Germany, and France, so even though its Switzerland, its included in my railpass, its about 30 minutes by train from Freiburg and makes the entire connection into France things ten times easier.
Its actually fun, you know the exact moment you’ve made it into France (which is in the train station), because there’s a HUGE sign that says “France” on it. I breathed a sigh of relief – I loved Germany, but I speak French.
Then spent most of the day on trains…I had two layovers after Basel. One was long enough that I could visit the river that was across from the train station (Mulhouse)
I managed to navigate the metro and the neighborhood and got to my hostel, where I met my lovely roommates. One came in soon after me, American, from Nevada. She had missed two of her flights and, yeah, had some really exciting experiences, including sleeping in an airport before she arrived.
We went off exploring the neighborhood and ended up at Monoprix, the French Walmart type creation – buying some dinner type things, and made an experimental rice concoction (well, I made it, but she washed the dishes, so its ok). We ate dinner alongside some Germans, fellow 18 year olds (well, follow for me), really nice people.
And that was another day of travelling, woohoo!
