Meet Me in St. Louis

This is a very short and I hope fairly sweet post today, as only just posted about Luzern.

Yesterday I spent the day in two countries, Switzerland, and then the latter half in France, in a village called St. Louis. It was my flatmates birthday so a couple of us went for pizza. We were driven by a Julie, who is french, to the border town, and on the way drove straight past work!

It was really strange, just drove straight through the border crossing, which no one was manning both on the way and way back, but did take our passports with us so as to ensure we weren't stuck in France (you wouldn't wish that misfortune on anyone!) To get around into work, is harder than crossing the border.

Just crossing 5 mins into France you could notice the difference, instead of paying £25 for a pizza and a drink as you would in Basel ( and the rest of Switzerland), it was on a par with England (£15 for a pizza, drink and icecream). Aparently the cinema in St. Louis is much cheaper and there is an openair swimming pool (which will save for when the rain ends-hopefully soon).

This weekend's highlight will be Zurich, stay tuned
