Continental Flight 10, Boeing 777-200, ready to board.

Continental's flight status information as displayed by the inflight entertainment system in the seatback in front of me.

Yes, I know it's blurry. :)

Here I am happily typing up my ITYT Trip Report in seat 17D on Continental Flight 10 from Houston to Paris.

Here's my room at Swissôtel Basel. Nearly 40 channels of programming available on the TV, but only two are in English. :)

The hotel room from a different angle.

Swissôtel Basel, hallway

Here I am, uploading these pics over the insanely slow modem+transatlantic link between me and slacker.com.

Roma italian restaurant around the corner from the Hotel. Good food, but the waiter there only speaks three words of English and two of them are "Come Again"

Buildings and the tip of a cathedral near on the Rhein. See the cathedral-accordian movies for shots of the foyer of the cathedral seen here.

The trolley crosses the bridge from grossbasel to kleinbasel. I took this pic about 1/2 second too early, a gorgeous red ferrari testarossa is just about to enter the frame from the right.

A market in kleinbasel, although it's sunday so all the stores are closed.

Swiss residences along the bank of the Rhein.

jfc enjoys a tomato salad at the cafe at Hotel Hecht on the shores of the Rhein. He's picking out some ice cream for dessert.

Sehr kleine strasse! This reminds me of that damn shortcut in NFS:Porsche that moose always takes. All that's missing are the wooden crates.

A remarkable accordian player performing for tips in the foyer of a cathedral near the Rhein.
