A mountain tour to Monte Generoso was planned for this day, but Hermann was not allowed to take part at this trip, which made him really disappointed as he was asking for a photo with him on the top of the mountain, if he had knew in advance how the day would develop he would have not asked in such an intense way.

In the rack-and-pinion railway from Capolago to the summit of Monte Generoso at an altitude of 1790m (5873ft) they went the way up in some fourty minutes. Only interrupted when in a tunnel a herd of goats had decided to use the railway also because it is the most comfortable way to get up there. The weather was fine until they arrived at the summit.

But soon after they have arrived on the top of the mountain there was just a minute to take a photo and soon clouds appeared and you could see nothing, no panorama - only clouds were to be seen.

Another thunder followed in the evening, of course.
