After two wonderful
days in Zermatt we took a shortcut through Northern Italy on our way to Austria. We
stopped at Stresa on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the second largest lake in Italy. The lake is 64 km (40 mi) long and
between 0.8 km and 8.9 km (0.5 mi and 5.5 mi) wide. It is 194 m (636 ft) above sea level,
and has an area of 212 sq km (82 sq mi). The Ticino River flows south through the lake. |

This sandstone statue
was a fine feature of the lake shoreline. |
 |
We passed by this
interesting archway at Valchieri. |
 |
The bus stopped at the
top of the hill so we could stretch our legs and get an opportunity to see the twisting
road we had just ascended. |
 |
Here is that view of
that pass we just travelled. |
