Who would have thought

Before we left on our trip, there was the possibility that the cruise portion of the trip would be cut short because of 100 year lows on the Rhine River. Eight days later, we were unable to go to the final port on the cruise because the river was so high that the ship could not get under a couple of the bridges.
All n all the cruise was great, in spite of the rain, we made it to all the markets along the way. Colmar was closed due to high winds, but we still went shopping and toured the city.

The trip to the Basel airport was a a little longer ride since we didn't make the final port, but it wasn't bad. The bus dropped us off in front of the terminal and when we entered we were in France, but the time we got to the ticket counter to check in, we were in Switzerland. The airport has three entrqnces, one in Germany, France and Switzerland.

We left Basel 30 minutes late, but still managed to make all our connection, so after about 12 hours of airports, layovers and connections we made it home.

The next adventure is Scheduled for Feb we we do our winter trip to Mexico.
