Ferry across the Rhine

Our stroll around Basel brought us to the Rhine many times, this city being our second of three visits to this great river this holiday. While Strasbourg had a narrower stretch, here in Basel it was a much grander experience.

To cross the Rhine there are of course many bridges and then also this ferry powered by nothing but the strong current and a rudder. There were only a handful of us as we drifted across at a decent pace avoiding swimmers who cast themselves like refugees into the water. It was quite surreal. Katarina took the opportunity to cool her overworked feet.
