Day 56. Rheinfall

We arrived safe and sound back in Switzerland. Our awesome rental van ended up with a tiny nick on its sliding door. Parking spaces here in Europe are tight. Add up a wider van and you are doomed to have someone slam their door into our van (of course while we are absent). So worried now that we would have to pay an exaggerated amount of money for them to pop that tiny thing, we delivered the van back to Hertz (without pointing it out) and hoped for the best. Well, the lady did not notice on her inspection round. Whew!

Loggins departure was nearing. We felt it was a must to see the Rheinfall waterfall. The weather was nice enough and so on day 56 we drove the one hour it takes to witness the river Rhein rushing through anything in its way. How do I put that? Oh yes. It was grand!

Another fascinating playground. Having some fun in that long and steep slide

This part of Switzerland is literally taking out space from Germany and was raided by WWII American liberation bombers thinking it was part of Germany. The Shaffhausen inhabitants will not forget and are still upset about that... But now off to Germany (like 5 minutes away) to go to the long promised to the kids 1 Euro store and eat a cheap dinner. Singen is our destination city. Fairly close to my hometown, and a very common destination city to East Swiss inhabitants, yet this is my first visit here. It was a fun city with an awesome fortress overlooking the town. One day... I will visit every single fortress standing on the hillsides of Switzerland and some in neighboring countries.

 

Let's go for some Turkish food. Cheap and... wow. Huge!

Then Aldi. Okay, Aldi in Switzerland does not have an automated bread machine. Push the button of the desired item and pop, it is ready.  This is a little too weird for me to get used to.
