Hi,

thanks for sharing the pictures. I have been living in Basel for 21 years and so you are so right about it being the marmite of festivals. It is not so bad now that do I not live in the city centre but it is certainly a great relief to me when it is over. I had a great Fasnacht this year and did not hear a single piccolo or drum....heaven. I always used to leave Basel when it is on, but there are quite a few people who come back just for those few days...of course they pass all others escaping Basel who are heading for the slopes.

So pictures without sound for me is the best way to enjoy Fasnacht.

Have fun

Martin
