Ciao - Lago Maggiore

Another few hours of Carlo's excellent driving, we arrive at Italy's second largest lake - Lago Maggiore (also called Verbano) it is at the foot of the alps and was formed in the glacial era. We arrive at our hotel - the Grand Dino - in Baveno, late afternoon. I actually took the photo of our hotel below the following day, but decided to plant it on the blog a day early.

The "stained glass" ceiling dome in the Reception area. The view of Lake Maggiore from our hotel room Tonight was going to be calm - a lovely dinner at our hotel's restaurant - our table below (l to r - Brian, Kerry, the Brig, Bob and Sue and moi behind the lens - and we are all from Queensland)!!

A few decisions on what to do tomorrow - depending whether the sun does shine once again!
