August 1st – rain!
We could not traverse Monte Gridone as planned. Drove to Locarno for ice cream, coffee and kebab take away lunch, then to above Verbania (Italy) to a cheap 3-star hotel. Weather slowly improving but we were in no mood to kayak across Lago Maggiore.
August 1st is the Swiss national holiday (public holiday).
Night: Hotel Moderno, Premeno
