Christel and Lennart took me to Central station to get the airport bus. Very sad to say goodbye to such lovely people. Caught my plane successfully and changed in Munich for the small plane to Basel. Tina was waiting to meet me and drove me to my hotel 'Balegra' which was quite near her home and about 10 minutes by tram from the centre of the City. The hotel had recently been refurbished and my room was small but quite lovely. All the rooms had names and mine was called 'Versailles' -so I thought of it as my little palace.
Tina left me to unpack and then came back to get me and take me to dinner at her house with two cats, her husband and 11year old daughter, Leah, who could not speak English, but we coped. I had a wonderful meal with them and so it was a really enjoyable evening. It is so interesting to see people's houses and how they live , different, but yet not so different. Tina walked back with me to my hotel and rode her bike home. She rides everywhere as do a lot of people. Also the public transport i.e. the trams, are wonderful. Pity Sydney cannot see its way clear to embracing usage of trams/ light rail .
