The first day in Beijing 北京之旅的第—天

Tian'an men and Wangfujing Street 天安门和王府井

sunny 23 °C

This autumn we planned to China, but my honey only had 3 weeks holiday, so I went to China with our daughter 3 weeks in advance.

今年秋天我们计划去中国,但我老公只有3周假期,于是我们母女提前3周回国。

Today, my honey just arrived Beijing from Austria, and I also arrived there to meet him as what we planned. However, this time we travelled without Isabella, because it would be not convenient with her.

今天老公从奥地利到了北京,我也按计划赴北京与他会合,只不过这次旅游我们没有带女儿去,因为带上她会很不方便。

After we left our luggages in the hotel, then went to visit Tian'an men Square directly. There were too many people, but it did not let my honey feel surprised. The environment protection in Beijing really made a big progress, it was our first time to see so blue sky in Beijing.

我们把行李放到酒店后,就直接去参观天安门。那里人山人海,但我老公一点也不惊讶!北京的环保真的有很大进步,这是我们第一次在北京看到蓝天!

After one evening of eating swiss cheese fondue you cannot stand the smell of cheese for the rest of your holiday, lol.

只要有一个晚上你吃过一次瑞士火锅奶酪,在剩下的几天假期里,你会无法再忍受那奶酪的气味,哈哈!

P1010384.jpg

Whatever, we bravely ate our food, and still enjoyed the evening. Not least because the swiss wine was very delicious.

4100_0992.jpg

100_0995.jpg

100_0997.jpg

5100_0998.jpg

We finally left the villa and started our walk around the peninsula.

最后我们离开别墅,开始环绕半岛的徒步行。

100_0999.jpg

5100_1000.jpg

100_1001.jpg

This is the only town on the peninsula: Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

这是半岛上唯一的小镇,圣让卡普费拉。

Many yachts are anchored there. Sure that is not cheap!

那里有许多私人游艇,当然其价格肯定也是不便宜!

100_1002.jpg

100_1011.jpg

100_1015.jpg

Now we were maybe at the nicest part of the Peninsula: Paloma Beach.

此刻我们大概位于半岛最美的部分:帕洛马海滩。

This is a small private beach (you have to pay to get there) which is all surrounded by expensive private villas.

这是私人海滩(如果要过去需要付费),该海滩被昂贵的私人别墅所包围。

The water there is truly beautiful, no wonder why they call this coast "azur".

那里的海水真的太美了,难怪人们称之为“蓝色(海岸)”。

100_1016.jpg

100_1021.jpg

100_1023.jpg

100_1027.jpg

100_1032.jpg

100_1034.jpg

Unfortunately pretty much all villas are surrounded by high walls or dense vegetation, so it is pretty much impossible to catch a glimpse of them.

不过非常可惜的是所有的别墅都被高高的围墙或者密集的草木给包围住,所以我们根本不可能看清这些别墅。

So we can only imagine how nice they are.

因此我们只能想象那些别墅有多美。

100_1037.jpg

3100_1039.jpg

We continued the public route around the peninsula.

我们继续沿着公共小径环绕半岛。

100_1046.jpg

100_1055.jpg

100_1061.jpg

The southern and western parts of Cap Ferrat are still nice, but not so spectacular anymore.

费拉角的南部和西部也是很美的,但没有之前的景观那么引人入胜。

100_1064.jpg

100_1076.jpg

100_1083.jpg

Time for a rest for us, and some opportunity for Isabella to "walk" around.

到了休息时间,也是我们给女儿下来四处“走动”的时候!

100_1085.jpg

100_1088.jpg

100_1090.jpg

100_1091.jpg

100_1103.jpg

Cute baby.

可爱的宝贝!

100_1105.jpg

100_1108.jpg

100_1109.jpg

100_1113.jpg

100_1114.jpg

Later our camera broke, so we could not take any more photos this day.

后来我们的相机坏了,所以无法继续拍摄更多的相片。

Fortunately we had visited the most interesting places already.

但幸运的是,我们已经参观了最有趣的地方了。

But on the next day we had to spend lots of time to get a new camera in emergency!

不过明天我们要花大量时间去买一部新的相机以作急用!

The beach there is excellent for small kids, as it is very flat leading into shallow water.

这个海滩非常适合小朋友玩,因为那里很平坦,并直通向浅水区。

However, it was dinner time so we had to leave.

Especially the 1st course (Salade Niçoise and Fish soup) were very delicious!

Believe it or not, in no other park of the world more people committed suicide than here.

信不信由你,世界上没有一个公园里的人们自杀率会超过这里。

Actually the reason for this is quite simple: Some people lost all their wealth at the Casino, and some of them committed suicide thereafter.

Travel in June-- Cannes 六月之旅——戛纳

La Croisette - The long beach in Cannes克鲁瓦塞特大道—戛纳的滨海大道

sunny 30 °C

We went to Cannes mostly to go to the beach to give our baby daughter the chance to swim in the sea.

我们前往戛纳的主要目的是让女儿体验一下在海里游泳。

It soon turned out that Cannes is pretty crowded, so we had to park our car quite far away.

车一开进戛纳马上就找不到停车位,后来只好把车停在离海滩有些远的地方。

4100_9880.jpg

Here we reached the beginning of 'La Croisette', one of the most famous beaches of the whole Côte d'Azur.

这里是克鲁瓦塞特大道的起点,这里是整个蓝色海岸的最著名海滨之一。

But at this part there was a private beach (notice all the beach parasols), so we had to walk further down to find the public area.

但是这部分属于私人海滨浴场(有遮阳伞的都是),所以我们还得再走好远才能到达公共浴场。

100_9886.jpg

8100_9891.jpg

3100_9889.jpg

100_9895.jpg

Another big hotel.

7100_9897.jpg

100_9900.jpg

After many private areas and a huge amount of parasols, we finally reached the public area, which is no more than about 5% of the whole beach.

走过许多私人浴场区和大片的遮阳伞后,我们终于来到了公共海滨浴场,这公共区小的可怜,全长占整片海滨浴场不足5%。

3100_9907.jpg

But it was still big enough for our small family.

尽管如此,对我们这样的小家庭,这里的空间还是足够的。

6100_9904.jpg

At the beach first we gave our Isabella some sun protection.

100_9939.jpg

So she wanted to stand up and explore the nearby area.

于是她要站起来,探索周边新事物。

100_9944.jpg

And then we went with her to the sea - for the first time in her life!

And she liked it there!

她很喜欢那里!

100_9983.jpg

5100_9998.jpg

"Mama let's go back and play some more!"

100_9999.jpg

101_0012.jpg

"Yeah, the beach is fun!"

“耶,海滩太好玩了!”

2101_0015.jpg

"I want to touch the waves!"

“我要摸一下海浪!”

8101_0010.jpg

101_0026.jpg

101_0050.jpg

In the evening we had dinner just a bit north of La Croisette.

傍晚我们到克鲁瓦塞特大道的北部吃晚餐。

101_0059.jpg

101_0041.jpg

101_0053.jpg

There we also let our daughter eat...

我们的女儿在那里吃了很多……

101_0048.jpg
