What are the Chances?


With the 3 of us heading to start the journey in a a seemingly obscure, cycle friendly city in Switzerland, we never expected accommodation to be a problem. Not until we learned that the Euro 2008 football tournament starts in Basel that weekend. What are the chances!? 


None of us are into football, though I remember that Chris used to play it in primary school, broke a leg for the privilege in year 8. All the same, we had to go through the extra hoops of providing everything short of DNA to the campground management to pass on to the Swiss authorities. 


we're so not into the football scene, that we're looking to bail on Basel ASAP,  which is a shame, because its probably a nice place when not overrun with lager louts. At least they're going to be predominantly Swiss and Czech louts. I can think of worse.
