After visiting my sister in Kiesen and our friends the Zbinden's in Derendingen we reached our home campground in Egnach, Switzerland. With this our travel to Morocco is at the end. We are here to prepare us and our RV for our next trip.

Today we stayed in Basel. Here starts the carnival on Monday morning at 4 am. All lights in the city go out and big and small lanterns start to shine. And they are accompanied by pipe and drum corps. We didn't sleep this night and were there at 4 am. My picture shows some of the lanterns.

Today we took the train to Liestal (about 1 hour). Here they have the traditional «Chienbäse-Umzug» (Pinewood broom parade). Men and women carry heavy burning pinewood brooms and move fire wagons through the city to banish winter. I think this can only be seen in Switzerland. In other countries, the security regulations are this strict that something like this can't be done anymore.

Then we passed the city of Sault. This region is known for growing lavender and producing lavender oil and other things. The picture shows the valley at Sault with some lavender fields.
