Scottish Shenanigans

Swisstching It Up

We've been getting our Swiss on for the past couple of days and driving across some of the nicest roads we've encountered so far

In far from our first board game shop, we came across this sleepy fellow who enjoyed a good stroke.

Basel, our first stop within Switzerland, was a mess of these tiny streets and beautiful wooden shuttered windows.

Finally getting to call the shots on which museum we went to, Danni decided on the Basel anatomy museum. Not sure that it was my favourite museum in the world and, almost fainting aside, I did find this humongous copy of Vesalius' book!

After Basel we had a very pleasant drive across Switzerland to Zurich, where the pleasantness ended and the horrifying reality of trying to park near a large Swiss city sunk in, you'd thought we learnt from Geneva last summer!?

Time for a nice wander around the city and a chance to see some classic Swiss architecture

Very pretty and cool topographical map of Switzerland that I was clearly impressed by. I know, an anatomy museum yesterday and a geological one today, what are you thinking Rob!? We'll have to squeeze in some history tomorrow, I'm getting withdrawals!

We managed to head off from Zurich before too late to benefit from a lovely golden hour drive and one of the most beautiful traffic jams I've ever been in!

Before making our way (finally!) into Italy we decided to take a quick detour to Liechtenstein for a visit to Vaduz tomorrow
