We started our journey into Basil about nine, and were at the train station before ten. I caught a taxi to my hotel and was able to check in early (for which I was grateful). I talked to the lady at the desk and she helped me find a place that sold charms for a bracelet, a shop called Pandora. She also showed me how I could get there and back on the tram, so after finding an ATM, I started on my adventure.
Hop on the 2 Tram across the street from the hotel, over the river to the Bankverein station, then a walk up Freie street to 81, the address of Pandora. It was a little confusing because I was watching the numbering on the left side of Freie, in the 70s, but then I noticed that the numbering on the right side was in the hundreds, so still a couple of blocks to go. So I found my place, did my shopping, and decided to take the same tram back that I took down.
When I returned to Bankverein, I realized that there was not 2 tram going in the opposite direction, so I took Steinenberg Street for a couple of blocks and was rewarded with a 6 tram that I knew from the map went by my hotel. So I hopped on and was shortly back at my hotel.
I spent the rest of the day reading, drinking an occasional beer, and just resting. After the cruise, I needed just such a quiet day.
