Our nonstop flight to London Heathrow
landed early and we started our hike out of Terminal 2 to the bus
queue to take us to British Airways Terminal 5. There is no other way to get there. I did not need to retrieve my checked-in luggage which I
was, hopefully, going to see in Basel. Terminal 5
was almost a breeze (went thru passport control and security) and we
were early for our connecting flight on British Airways to
Basel/Mulhouse Euro Airport. This flight was empty and the attendants
very pleasing. And, yes, my luggage did make it. All for the
mere price of 20k miles and $98.
The small EuroAirport is easy to
maneuver and has car rentals on the Swiss and French side. Since our day of arrival was on a German holiday, we had to rent our car at the airport. In a few days, we are going to swap out this airport car for a car rented in Loerrach, Germany (less expensive). Meanwhile, Europcar,
on the French side (less expensive than Swiss) upgraded us to an automatic (no extra charge) and after I
figured out how to start the keyless car, we set my TomTom GPS for
Muenstertal in the southern Black Forest.

| Haus Sonne |
An easy drive to Haus Sonne put us into
our own double room, with bathroom and lovely balcony. After a traditional German sausage dinner at Adler Stube, it was time to curl up under the
down comforter. Love our automatic, blackout window shutters. At 2 a.m. I awoke to the wonderful sound of a torrential thunderstorm.
