Gardaland

On Saturday, we took the little ones – little cousins Zoja and Arne – to Gardaland. Gardaland is kind of Disneyland, located at a beautiful Lake Garda in Italy. It’s one of the biggest theme parks in Europe and probably the most famous theme park in Italy, popular with both – the young and old. We had a great day! First we visited the Sea Life aquarium, because our little guy is (still) crazy about sea animals, and then the Gardaland itself. More in photos below… And above. ;)

Dance of happiness before entering the aquarium.

Bye-bye Gardaland! …for now.

A Little Day Trip

We had a little family trip last week. On Wednesday morning we went to the Bled gorge (or Vintgar gorge). We arrived there just in time for lunch. So, first we went to have lunch and after lunch we visited the gorge. Bled gorge is beautifully formed and about 2 km/a good mile long gorge, 10 minute drive from Bled. Bled is town by the lake Bled in the north west of Slovenia and it’s a popular tourist destination. We went to Bled after visiting the gorge. There is also a small island on the lake, where you can get only by boat called pletna. We’d wanted to go (as usually), but we were 10 minutes late. We came there in the evening. So, we went for a walk, had a lovely dinner and drove home. It was a beautiful day. And here is a bit of a photo overload again. The first three photos are from Bled, the other from the gorge. Enjoy! ;)

 

For a Good Start

I’m sorry for the nature photo overload around here these days. We’ve been spending a lot of time out in the nature in the last days – on walks, running, playing and soaking up the summer sun. These were taken on yesterday’s walk in the woods, a half an hour drive away from our home. I hope you like nature… Well, who doesn’t like it? And I think a relaxing Sunday walk is one of the best ways to recharge the body and mind and to start a new week. There are only two weeks left in August… Have a great time!!
