What a beautiful drive through the French countryside this morning. We left the Ibis hotel fairly early because we needed to get to the French side of the Basel airport by 10:30am to return our car. We drove small country roads to get to the airport and as we drove we entered into the Alsace area of France. Wow, we were impressed with the buildings there!
We also stopped in Altkirch to fill up the rental car with gas and into the L'Eclerc store to pick up a little bit for breakfast - two almond croissants and some juice. We also picked up two little fruit tarts. From Altkirch it was a short drive to the Basel Airport. We parked the car and handed the keys to the people at Atesa and then waited for Andrew to arrive to pick us up.
So, we are back at Andrew's place again. We have come full circle. Our trip now is really almost over.
For lunch we walked to a nearby cafe and had some good sandwiches but experience a little bit of sticker shock!! A bottle of coke at this little cafe was close to $5!! I looked at past receipts and we have a receipt from Madrid back in July where we bought a bottle of coke for 75 cents. Such a huge difference!!
After lunch, we went to the grocery store and bought several items and the final bill was a lot more than I thought it'd be. Yes, it IS a lot more expensive in Switzerland.
