Saturday:
Some rain in the morning, so we went trail running. After the first loop together (with three different sets of people asking us how to find a famous cave with easy climbing routes), g repeated the loop from the first day on his own.
Other stuff:
- we rented a car in Basel and drove down. The drive, less than 6 hours since we didn't have traffic, wasn't bad at all.
- the flat worked well and the location up on the hill above town was great.
This was a great trip and we definitely need to go back. :-)
