W has always been a fan of Dollhouses, so because I'm so awesome, I recommended we visit the
puppenhausmuseum as one of our few Basel must see items. We wandered around for quite a bit nerding out about all the tiny little things. They won't let you bring in any more than a pocket size camera, which makes it tough to get really good pictures. But suffice it to say even with out visual proof from my camera, the little tiny things are presented with amazing detail, and the old teddy bears are often very cute, although sometimes creepy. Once the Christmas Market opened up, we had a delicious sit down fondue lunch, and then explored the river front and university area of Basel. Late in the afternoon we hopped on a train to
Auggen to meet some friends, for the next leg of our journey. Many moons ago W went on a trip to Germany with a co-worker. They went to stay with the son of a lady who had been the co-worker's au pair. Some time later, that son had stayed at our house, on a trip through California. He was nice enough to put us up at his parents place since we were on his side of the pond. We sat for a fantastic meal of schnitzel, and then he dropped us off for our stay in
Badenweiler. We stayed at the
Gastehaus Ursula in Badenweiler, likely the most wonderful family owned B&B style hotel in all of Germany. Yes, my opinion is biased on this, and I'm totally O.K. with that. The lady of the house greeted us with fresh baked Chritmas Cookies and some local beer. We even took a walk up into Badenweiler where the shops were open late that night and everyone was serving a warm beverage and the whole town gathered. Our bed was good and comfy, and we settled in from our full day for a good night's sleep.
