We had drinks in a rather posh coffee-house, then visited the Paper Mill. This has been refurbished — the mill wheel turns — and is occupied by a small business doing specialist papermaking. You can watch paper being made in the tradional fashion and even make some yourself! It's also The Swiss Museum for Paper, Writing and Printing, with several floors of exhibits which include presses, type machines, etc.

We crossed back over the Rhine using the motorless ferry, which is a boat held in stream by a wire across the river and moved by the force of the current. And we wandered through Klein Basel admiring the variety of sculptures and fountains.
After dinner we said goodbye and headed for the airport, stopping at the supermarket in the train station for Camilla to buy several kilograms of chocolate.
