For the start of August we head to Switzerland to enjoy some of the local festivities surrounding Swiss national day. We drive down from the black forest to Basel where festivities begin on the 31st July. Finding a reasonably priced hotel in Switzerland is always difficult, but we managed to book an overnighter in a great little hotel just across the border in France for a good rate. From here it was a 10 minute walk into Switzerland and rows of food stalls, beer tents, bands, sporting events and fireworks.
The following day we drive across to Wittenbach to pay a visit to my Aunt and Uncle and enjoy a traditional home cooked meal! Margrit cooks some kind of magnificent ricotta cake (complete with swiss flag in berries) to finish off the perfect lunch. We then head to Zurich for the night and more fireworks and revelry.
