On the next day in Italy we went to Arco.

在意大利的第二天我们前往阿科小镇。

Arco is a small town north of lake Garda, which is famous for rock climbing.

阿科小镇位于嘎达湖的北部，是著名的攀岩胜地。

We went to the numerous sports shops there to purchase new climbing equipment, which is much cheaper than at home.

我们到许多体育用品商店里买一些新的攀岩器械，因为那里的价格比奥地利的更便宜。

This is the old castle of Arco.

这是阿科小镇上的古堡。

Near the town center.

小镇镇中心附近。

One of the many climbing shops.

众多攀岩用品商店里的一家！

There are many rocks near Arco.

阿科周围有许多岩石。

After our shopping was finished, we started to drive from Arco, Italy, to La Napouille/Mandelieu in France.

购物完，我们驾车离开意大利阿科小镇，前往法国的拉那坡以/曼德约镇。

A last view down on lake Garda.

最后再欣赏下嘎达湖的美景吧！

Isn't it beautiful?

是不是很美呀？

Here we are already in France, at our place of residence for the next 8 days.

此刻我们已经抵达法国，接下来的8天里我们就住在这里。

It is an area of small two floor villas. In between the villas are recreational places such as swimming pools, sport areas or children playgrounds.

这是一片2层楼高的小别墅区，别墅中间设有一些娱乐设施，比如游泳池、健身场所以及儿童游乐场所。

As we have been driving for nearly the whole day, we spent the afternoon just playing with Isabella.

由于我们开了将近一天的车，所以下午的时候，就在儿童游乐场所里陪Isabella玩。

Finally in the evening we went to have dinner in a restaurant nearby.

最后我们到度假村附近的一家餐馆里吃晚餐。

Our daughter can make so funny faces, lol.

我们的女儿很会变鬼脸，哈哈！

The main destination of this vacation was the Cote d'Azur in France, but it was a bit far to drive on one day, particularly with a baby.

我们此行的主要目的地是法国的“蓝色海岸”，但要是自驾车一天内到达，实在有些远，尤其是我们还带着宝宝。

So we made a stop in Italy, where we stayed only for one night.

于是我们首站先停在意大利，在那里住一晚上。

We choose an inexpensive hotel just north of lake Garda in the small town Torbole.

我们在托博乐小镇上选了一家经济型酒店，该酒店位于镇上嘎达湖的北部。

We have already been near lake Garda 2 years ago, so we knew this is a nice place.

2年前我们就已经到过嘎达湖附近，所以知道那里是个很不错的地方。

First we took a walk along the lake...

我们先在湖边散步……

Later we let Isabella play at a playground nearby.

然后让伊莎贝拉在附近的游乐场所玩了一会儿。

She likes playing this type of swing very much.

她非常喜欢荡秋千。

At this time Isabella still could not walk.

那个时候，伊莎贝拉还不会走路。

Finally we had dinner in an Italian restaurant right next to the lake.

最后我们在湖边的一家意大利餐厅里吃晚餐。

Isabella wants to eat everything!

伊莎贝拉喜欢尝试各种美食！
