"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

On Swiss National Day escaping the heatRoute: Alpe di Neggia (1395m) - Magadino Indemini trail - Monte Gambarogno (1734m) - Cima Orientale (1687m) - East flank (direct) - Alpe di Neggia
It was really hot on the Swiss National Day (36+ degreec C) so we decided to escape the heat a bit by hiking up Monte Gambarogno. Perfect views over Lago Maggiore. Many local people in the refuge near the summit celebrating the Swiss National day (and drinking way too much :-) , next time I will stay for sure!

From Monti di PiazzognaClimbed from Monti di Piazzogna in the north. Weather deteriorated during the day but since Gambarogno was the first summit we still were lucky. Nice traverse between cross and real summit.
