Coop Beachtour
As you may have gathered from previous posts, I’m a webcam fan. It’s nice to be able to see live snapshots of life from cities all around the world from the convenience of my iPhone. Most of the webcams I visit regularly are of Swiss scenes (as you may have guessed). One such scene is of Barfüsserplatz in Basel. Normally a reasonably quiet market square with constant visits from green and yellow trams, last weekend when I dropped by, things were looking a little different.

After a few minutes of research, I managed to find out that this was the second event in the Coop Beachtour, a series of seven Beach Volleyball meets. Courts are set up for around four days before being dismantled and moved on. Three days later, normality had returned.

The next event takes place 11-14 June in Locarno before heading on to Geneva, Zug, Winterthur and Bern. Visit the website for more information.
