They Tried to Make Me Go to Rehalp

Fri, 3 Jul 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [733]

One thing I like to do when I travel is ride tram, and subway lines to interesting sounding stops.  I saw a streetcar headed to  Rehalp. I had no idea what was there. Of course, Rehalp reminded me of the Amy Winehouse song. I took the 22 minute ... Read more >

Fri, 3 Jul 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [432]

Zurich Beautiful

Tue, 30 Jun 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [514]

Yesterday, I checked out of the YMCA and left Basel. I am glad I did. The YMCA was sort of weird and a pain in the ass-and it has nothing to do with the big black guy who  basically slept next to me for one night-which he did.  There was a ... Read more >

Final sprinkle of Basel

Mon, 29 Jun 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [460] | Comments [1]

Yesterday, I spent one last day in Basel. Not because I thought there was so much more to see here, but simply because the day before I was out in other parts of the country from 10:00 am until after midnight-so I didn't feel like packing up, checking ... Read more >

Sat, 27 Jun 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [539]

I am staying at the YMCA hostel here in Basel. I am convinced this is it.  This is the place the Village People wrote about. Why would I say that? Well first all, this is an ok hostel. There are 8 beds in the room, plenty of people sitting around ... Read more >
