What can we say, Roman ruins totally rock!! We felt more brave than the day before so, armed with detailed bus and walking directions from Robert, we took a bus slightly southeat of Basel to a tiny town called Augst, site of old Roman ruins of a town called Augusta Raurica. What a really cool little place. The weather was a tad rainy and dreary, but that didn't stop us.
This is the ruins of an old amphitheatre. It was really cool to walk around on here, the same place where the Romans walked and lived.
These are old markers - I am not sure what they say, as my Roman is a tad rusty! Really cool though!
I believe this is the corner of a wall that an past the foundation of the old temple. Despite the weather being drizzly, we decided to have a picnic lunch of sorts here (this was taken from the picnic table someone was kind enough to erect). Soft though the weather was, it was still a lovely picnic.
This was just a little cottage we passed in our travels - they are everywhere, these quaint little scenes - the very kind of place you'd love to wander around on a spring morning.
