The traveling sisters are back in action!

Day 1 of this flash-packing holiday to Europe has been eventful.

We started early this morning at Zurich airport, took a train down to the canton-city of Basel where we toured the historic city centre and then went on to check out the roman ruins of kaiseraust.

To add to the excitement, it had to rain cats and dogs in the middle of our basel city tour and beyond. Fortunately, the state of the art waterproof jackets Wen just bought 2 days ago held up really well, keeping our tops (as well as the many things we managed to squeeze into their generous-sized pockets) totally dry. Unfortunately, we both somehow didn't see the need for waterproof pants and shoes... You can guess the rest.

But no damage done, and overall, it was a positive experience as we gained an instant education on waterproof vs water-resistant, and later reflected that the rainy season probably mirrors the season in wen's life.

Now blogging from wen's iPhone, out of a cool Strasbourg studio.

It certainly feels good to be dry and dined.
