Verzasca gorge

Lovely evening in Locarno last night. Super town with the exuberance of Italy and the grace of France. Of course the best part is that it’s Swiss, and everything just works.

Relaxing on a boat where we had dinner.

This morning we had a long bus ride to the Verzasca gorge. At the top of the valley is a lovely bridge.

And of course people are tempted to jump off.

Old hill villages line the gorge.

Stunning scenery.

The busses down the gorge are infrequent so we walk most of the way. In the distance is a dam.

And what a dam. This is the one that was used in the James Bond film Goldeneye. It’s hard to convey the scale.
