Locarno, Switzerland

Not much to write about today, but we decided to stay in Locarno for another day despite the weather forecast predicting a 65% chance of rain.

Once again, luck was on our side—the rain didn’t start until we were having dinner at an Italian restaurant between 6 and 7 PM. We had a dry day up until then.

After a good night's sleep, we took a cable car, gondola, and chairlift up to Cimetta Mountain, sitting at 1,671 meters above sea level. The view from the top was beautiful, overlooking Locarno and Lago Maggiore, though the incoming bad weather made it less crisp and clear than we’d hoped (see attached photos).

We returned to the hotel around 1:30 PM and I took a nap while Ursula went window shopping.

Our plan for tomorrow is to visit the Market in Feriolo, Italy.Read more
