Our Travels

Today was an unlucky day, because the weather forecaster gave us the wrong information, we thought it would be sunny day, and planned to take a long hiking in the north of Teneriffa.

今天有够倒霉，因为天气预报不准，我们以为特纳里夫北部天气不错，所以计划上那爬山。

But actually, when we arrived the destination, the weather changed a lot, at the beginning it was raining, and then was storm. The higher we drove, the colder it was, especially when we almost arrived the top of mountain, it was snowing, oh my god, how unbelievable it was! Finally, considering the wheels of our car were the summer ones, it was very dangerous to drive on the snow, so we had to take another way to go down the mountain.

但事实上，当我们到达目的地的时侯，天气突然变化多端，一开始只是下雨，后来就下大暴雨。我们的车开得越高，气温就越低，尤其是当我们几乎快要到达山顶的时侯，居然下起雪来了，天啊，简直难以置信！最后，考虑到我们的车胎是夏季型的，在雪地上行驶容易打滑很危险，所以只好改道下山。

Our original plan was failed, then we decided to the south of Teneriffa for hiking, and hoped it would be nicer weather there. But unfortunately, when we was starting to hike, it suddenly rained. So our second plan was failed again. How disappoined we were.

我们的最初计划失败了，接着又计划去特纳里夫南部爬山，希望那里的天气会好些。但不幸的是，当我们到的时侯，正要准备出发，突然下起大雨来。第二个计划又失败了，太令人失望了！

Eventually, we had to go back to the hotel. But on the way to the hotel, we wanted to take a lunch first, then we went to Los Cristianos, it was sunny in this city, so we just took an simple sightseeing and walking around after the lunch.

最后，我们只得返回酒店。不过在去酒店之前，得先去吃午饭解决温饱问题，于是我们到了洛斯·克里斯蒂阿诺斯，那里万里晴空，所以午饭后我们在这个城市周围四处简单地逛了下。

North of Teneriffa is much more green than other parts.

特纳里夫北部比该海岛其他地方要绿的多。

From this picture, you could see that how bad the weather was.

从这张像片上，可以看出当时的天气有多糟糕。

The higher we drove, the more snow we found.

我们行使得越高，看到的白雪就越多。

We arrived the foot of the mountain finally.

最后我们到达了山脚下。

Then we came to the south of Teneriffa, and wanted to hike on this mountain. When we was changing the hiking shoes, suddenly it rained, so we had to cancel this plan again.

后来我们去特纳里夫南部，打算爬这座山。当我们刚换好登山鞋的时侯，突然下大雨了，所以只得再次取消计划。

It was a strange plant beside our parking place, very big, but I did not know its name.

在我们的停车处旁，发现了一种很奇特的植物，非常大，但我不知道它叫什么。

In Teneriffa, the fuel was really much more cheaper than Austria.

和奥地利的车油价相比，特纳里夫的价格实在是太便宜了。

We came to Los Cristianos.

我们来到了洛斯·克里斯蒂阿诺斯市。

It was one corner of our restaurant.

我们所在餐馆里的一角。

Spanish rice was really very awful!

西班牙的米饭实在不敢恭维，太难吃了！

This time the pizza was much more fresh than yesterday.

这次点的批萨比昨天吃的新鲜多了。

When we were eating, we saw an old woman driving this kind of mini motobike for shopping, very interesting.

我们在吃饭的时侯，看到一位老妇人骑着迷你电动车购物，挺有意思的。

On the way to the hotel, we found the top of Teide volcano was covered by the snow.

在回酒店的途中，我们发现泰德火山山顶被白雪覆盖了。

Today was my honey's birthday, so we decided to take an easy day to celebrate his special day. We did not go hiking, did not take any sightseeing either, just stayed in the hotel to have a relaxed day.

今天是我老公的生日，我们决定不去爬山，也不去观光，就呆在酒店里，轻轻松松地庆祝他的特别日子。

This morning, I gave my honey a special gift, he was very surprised, but very happy, and then we went to the swimming pool in the hotel.

早上，我给老公一份特殊的生日礼物，这份礼物使他惊喜万分，随后我们就一起到酒店的游泳池里游泳。

Today the weather was pretty nice, sunny and warm, but not windy, so many people came to swim in the hotel.

今天天气非常好，阳光明媚，而且又没有刮风，所以酒店里很多客人都来游泳。

In the middle of three swimming pools, there is a mini bar which selling some drinks and small foods.

在3个游泳池中间有个迷你酒吧，出售一些酒水饮料和一些小点心。

There are three swimming pools in this hotel, and one is even heated with warm water. So we chose it to swim. It showed the temperature of water was 27 °C, but I did not think so, I felt it was much more colder. Actually at that time I did not want to enter the water, but my honey pulled me down, oh my god, it was too cold for me, and the water was too salty. Finally, we just only swam for a while then came out of the water, because I was not good at swimming,and my honey did not like to swim alone.

酒店里有3个游泳池，只有一个是温水的，所以我们选择了它。该游泳池显示水温为27度，但我并不这么认为，觉得实际水温要低得多。其实当时我不想下水，但是被我老公硬拽下水，我的天啊，太冷了，而且水很咸！最后我们只游了一小会儿就上岸了，因为我游得不好，老公又不想自己一个人游。

After coming out of the water, we lay on the beach chairs and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

上岸后，我们就躺在沙滩椅上晒太阳。

It was very comfortable to take a nap in the sun.

在阳光下打个小盹儿感觉还是很舒服的。

Now there was a dove coming, I gave it some bread and cake to eat.

这时有只鸽子飞过来，我拿了些面包和蛋糕给它吃。

About 5pm, there was not warm sunshine anymore, most of people went back to the rooms. Suddenly, the swimming pools looked much more quiet.

大约下午5点钟，太阳下山了，多数客人都回酒店房间里了，顿时整个游泳池变得格外安静。

After changing the clothes, we went to take dinner.

我们回房换好衣服后，就去吃晚餐。

On the way to the restaurant, we walked along the long beach, the sceneries looked not so bad there.

在去餐馆的途中，我们漫步在长长的海滩上，四周的景色看上去挺不错的。

This is our neighbour hotel, the Parque Santiago IV. It was a bit smaller than ours but still nice.

这是我们隔壁的酒店，帕克·圣地亚哥（4），比我们所住的帕克·圣地亚哥（3）还小一些，但还是很漂亮的。

Here's a five star hotel. It has nice architecture and bright colors.

这是一家五星级酒店，其建筑美丽大方，而且色彩鲜艳。

Finally, we chose a restaurant which faced to the ocean, pretty good location. We thought the food in this restaurant should be delicious, and I hoped to have a good dinner to end my honey's special day, but the end made us too disappointed, because the food was too bad...

最后，我们选择了一家面朝大海的餐馆，其地理位置确实非常的好。我们以为这家餐馆的食物应该也不错，而且我也希望借着美味可口的晚餐来给老公的生日画上完满的句号，可事实上却令我们非常失望，因为这家餐馆的食物实在太糟糕了……

...the fish was over-fried, and the pizza was not fresh. It was the worst dinner we had eaten so far!

……这家餐馆的鱼排炸过头了，而且批萨也不新鲜。这是我们目前所吃过的晚餐中最差劲的一道。

After dinner, on the way to the hotel, we saw a chinese restaurant.

餐后，在回酒店的途中，我们看到了一家中国餐馆。

I liked the beautiful decoration in the shopwindows.

我喜欢橱窗里美丽的装饰品。

We went to a perfume shop, I found the prices were reasonable, especially one of my favorite perfumes, JLO Glow. It was much cheaper than Austria. So my honey wanted to buy it for me as the christmas gift. I was very surprised and happy, because he still could remember I like JLO Glow, really let me so moved.

我们进了一家香水店，发现里面的价格非常合理，尤其是珍妮佛·洛佩兹闪亮之星第一款女性淡香水，这是我最爱的香水之一。这里的价格比奥地利要便宜得多。所以老公将此买下，作为给我的圣诞礼物，没想到他还记得我喜欢这款香水，让我既惊喜又感动。

After buying the perfume, we continued visiting the shopping center, but did not buy anything more.

买完香水后，我们继续逛商业中心，但没有再买其他东西了。

Do you still remember here? We have already introduced it in the first blog in Teneriffa, so I do not want to repeat again. This time, the pictures looked much more nicer than last time, right?

是否还记得这里？我们在特纳里夫之行的第一篇博客里已经提到过了，所以这里就不再重复了。这次拍的音乐喷泉比上次更好看些，对吧？

So, in my honey's special day, except for the dinner, other things all made him very satisfied.

总之，在老公的特别日子里，除了糟糕的晚餐外，其他都令他非常满意。

Happy Birthday, honey, happy everyday!

老公，祝你生日快乐，天天快乐！

Today we went to the west of Teneriffa, a small town which is named Los Gigantes. This time, our goal was not for hiking again, but for taking the boat to see the beautiful Atlantic ocean, the lovely dolphins and the famous cliffs in Teneriffa.

今天我们前往特纳里夫海岛的西部，一个名叫洛斯·吉甘特斯的小镇。此行的目的不是爬山，而是乘坐小游船欣赏美丽的大西洋，看看可爱的海豚以及见识下特纳里夫著名的悬崖。

On the way to the harbour, we could see a small side of the cliff on this view point.

在去海港的途中，我们可以从这个景点观望台上看到一小部分悬崖。

It was very difficult to find the parking place around the harbour, so we had to park our car a little far away from the harbour, and then walked there.

在海港周围很难找到停车处，所以我们只好把车停在有点远的地方，然后再走回海港。

In Los Gigantes, there are many shops which selling the tickets of different boats. Sometimes, you can find that some shops have the same boat and the same time, but the prices are not the same, and if you buy the tickets near the harbour, usually can get the cheapest tickets.

在洛斯·吉甘特斯小镇上，有许多商店出售各式游船的船票。有时侯你可以发现，不同的商店，在同一游船和同一时间上的票价各不相同，但如果在海港附近买的话，通常可以买到最便宜的船票。

Now we arrived at the harbour. It was not very big, but had many boats, some were for the visitors, and some were private.

现在我们到达了海港，虽然规模不是很大，却停泊了相当多的船只，有些是游船，有些则是私人船只。

It was the boat which we would take later.

这艘游船就是我们随后要乘坐的。

Sitting on the boat, I was very happy and excited, because it was the first time for me to take this kind of boat, and I would see the dolphins soon, hehe!

坐在船上，我是既开心又激动，因为这是我第一次乘坐这样的小游船，而且很快就能见到可爱的海豚，呵呵！

When our boat was ready to set out, another boat was coming back to the harbour.

当我们的游船即将出发的时侯，另外一艘游船正好入港。

Now our boat already left the harbour, looking back, we could see the beautiful town.

此刻我们的游船已经离港，回头望去，可以看到美丽的小镇。

The speed of the boat was too fast. Looking at my hair, you could imagine that how windy it was.

游船的行使速度非常快，看我的头发，就能想象到当时风有多大了吧！

Driving on the boundless Atlantic ocean, the feeling was pretty nice. The warm sunshine, the blue sky, the clean water, the fresh air, the beautiful sceneries, everything looked so perfect.

行驶在无边无际的大西洋上，感觉非常的好！温暖的阳光、蔚蓝的天空、清澈的海水、新鲜的空气以及美丽的景色，所有的一切看似都是那么的完美。

About half hour later, we found many dolphins. This kind of dolphin was different with the one which we saw often. It was black with the round head. It was pity that I forgot the name.

大约过了半小时，我们发现了海豚。这种海豚和常见到的不同，它是黑色圆头的，可惜我忘了它的学名。

They were dolphin Mama and dolphin baby, they always swam together, very lovely.

这是海豚妈妈和海豚宝宝，它们总是形影不离，可爱极了。

After watching the lovely dolphins, our boat turned back to the town, and went to visit the cliffs.

观看完可爱的海豚后，我们的游船转向驶回小镇，前去欣赏著名的悬崖。

Now our boat stopped here for a while. Each visitor could get a drink and a bag of nuts for free. Besides, the visitors also could jump down to swim.

我们的游船在此逗留片刻，每位游客都可以免费得到一瓶饮料和一包坚果，而且游客还可以下水游泳。

After visiting the cliffs, our boat arrived stopped at a small fish farm. We found another kind of dolphins there, just the normal ones we saw often on TV, the silvery skin with sharp mouth. But these dolphins did not come close to us, so it was difficult for us to take nice pictures for them.

观赏完悬崖后，我们的游船到了一个小渔场。那里我们发现了另外一种海豚，就是电视上常见到的那种普通海豚，银白色的皮肤，尖尖的嘴巴。可是这些海豚都不愿意靠近我们，所以很难给它们拍照。

It was the time to finish this interesting trip on the boat, totally 2 hours. Now we came back to the harbour.

有趣的游船之行结束了，总共2小时，现在返回海港。

Thereafter, we went to visit the famous special landscape, Masca.

随后，我们去参观名叫马斯卡的著名奇特地貌。

The road to Masca is very small, has many many curves and it's feeling quite adventurous to go there!

通往马斯卡的山路非常窄小，而且曲曲折折，让人感觉似乎要到达那里是相当危险的。

Masca consists just of a few houses, all around are mountains with a big canyon in the middle.

整个马斯卡地貌是由一些房屋以及周围所有的山峰组合而成，而这些山峰的正中间有个巨大的峡谷。

Though Masca is quite high up, the weather was so very nice and warm there.

尽管马斯卡地势很高，但那里的气温却一点也不冷。

After visiting the Masca, we went to another small town, Los Garachicos.

观赏完马斯卡地貌后，我们去了一个名叫洛斯·嘎拉芝哥斯的小镇。

It's located at the northern coast of Teneriffa.

该小镇位于特纳里夫的北部沿海岸。

We took the dinner in this town. I ordered the delicious rabbit meat again, and my honey ordered a beef steak.

我们在小镇上吃了晚餐。我再次点了美味的兔肉，老公点的是牛排。

Today the weather was quite nice, we decided to hike on the highest mountain in Spain, Volcano Teide (3718m). It locates in the middle of Teneriffa.

今天天气特别好，我们决定去西班牙最高峰，即位于特纳里夫海岛中部的海拔3718米的泰德火山进行徒步之旅。

On the way to the volcano Teide, there were many view points for visitors to see the special landscapes around the Teide.

在前往泰德火山的途中，有许多景点观望台供游人欣赏其四周的奇特景观。

Behide us, the highest mountain was volcano Teide.

我们身后的最高山峰就是泰德火山。

At the visitor's view point.

此刻我们位于游客观望台上。

These rocks were the lava from the volcano Teide, after the lava concreting, they became colorful rocks in different shapes.

这些岩石都是来自泰德火山的岩浆，岩浆凝固之后，就形成不同形状的彩色岩石。

This rock is called the "Finger of god".

这块岩石美名其曰“神之指”。

Most people just would stay at the view point, but we took a short, 2 hours hike around in this special area, which is full of rocks and the remains of volcano eruptions.

多数游客只是在观望台欣赏下火山爆发后的遗迹和各式岩石，之后便离去，而我们却选择为时2个小时简短的徒步之旅，更好地欣赏这块神奇之土。

My honey really loves climbing so much. When he saw the small cliff, he still wanted to try to climb for a while, even without the climbing shoes, just liked a kid, hehe...

我老公真的是个攀岩狂，当他看到这座小崖壁的时侯，即便没有穿上攀岩鞋，他还是想试着攀一小会儿过把瘾，真像个孩子，呵呵……

...look, he really enjoyed climbing, right?!

……看他攀得多起劲啊，不是么？！

Different types of rocks everywhere!

这里到处都是各式各样的岩石！

It is the top of Teide. Visitors can take the cable car to visit the top, but we did not do so.

这是泰德火山的顶峰，游客可以通过乘坐缆车观看顶峰，但我们没有乘坐。

Here could see the shape of flowing lava.

这里可以看到当年流动岩浆的形状。

Now we started taking the steepest part of the mountain. It was also the last part of the routes to reach the end of this hiking.

现在我们开始走向全程最陡峭路段，也是通向终点的最后一部分路段。

Leaving the volcano Teide, we drove to the north...

离开泰德火山后，我们驾车一路向北走……

...and then we found the green desert, looked like on the moon. So we stopped and took some pictures for the special landscape.

……然后我们发现一片绿色沙漠，看上去像是到了月球。于是我们就停下车，为这片奇特地貌拍几张像片。

Many movies have been shot in this area, as it looks nearly like being in another world, such as planet Mars.

据说许多影片都在这里拍摄，正因为这里看上去就像另外一个世界，比如火星。

Then we drove down the mountain area again on the northern part of the island, to go to the small town of La Orotava.

接着我们在海岛的北部一路开下山，前往一个名叫拉·欧柔塔瓦的小镇。

There they have some old villas, one of them is the "Casa de los Balcones" - a house with many balconies.

小镇上有许多古老的别墅，其中一个著名的别墅名叫“多院之屋”。

Unfortunately access to the interior rooms has already been closed. So we only could visit the lower floor, which looked like a shopping area for wine, pictures and other souvenirs.

遗憾的是，我们去的时侯，别墅内部的房间已经对外关闭了，所以我们只能参观底楼，该底楼看上去就像是个购物区，出售一些葡萄酒、油画以及其他纪念品。

So this is how traditional clothes on the Canary Islands look like.

这是卡纳利小岛居民的传统服饰。

Thereafter we went to the city Puerto de la Cruz to take dinner.

接着我们前往一个名叫普伊托·德·拉·克鲁斯的城市里吃晚餐。

The beach promenade in Puerto de la Cruz is still colorful in late evening.

深夜里，普伊托·德·拉·克鲁斯市的海滩依旧五光十色。

Today we went to the east of Teneriffa for hiking. The destination was a natural park, Malpaís de Güimar. The reason why we chose it was the landscape looking completely different with Austria, and the plants were very strange.

今天我们去特纳里夫海岛的东部进行徒步之旅。此行的目的地是个名叫马尔帕伊斯·德·桂玛的自然公园。我们之所以选它，是因为那里的地形地貌和奥地利截然不同，而且那里的植物也非常奇特。

On the early morning, after getting up, we could see the quiet street from our balcony.

一早起床，我们可以从阳台上看到宁静的街道。

The yellow/orange building is a 5-star hotel.

这座黄橙色的建筑是个五星级的酒店。

It took us about 1 hour to drive to the destination.

我们驾车大概一小时到达目的地。

From this picture, you could see how dry this area is, because rain is very rare in the south-east of Teneriffa.

从像片上可以看到这里非常干燥，因为特纳里夫海岛的东南部雨水十分稀少。

We took hiking along the sea.

我们沿着大海徒步行走。

The black rocks are all lava from a volcano which erupted here 10.000 years ago.

这些黑色的岩石都是一万年前火山爆发流出的岩浆。

Now we had already passed the sea, and started hiking higher and higher.

此刻我们已经走过了大海，开始向高处行走。

We found some white crystal granules on the stone. My honey told me they were salt, then I tired to taste if it was salty...

我们在岩石上发现了一些白色晶体小颗粒，老公说是盐，于是我就试着尝尝是否会咸……

...but it tasted not salty, I did not know what they were.

……可是一点也不咸，我不懂这些白色晶体究竟是什么。

That small hill was the center of the volcano eruption.

这座小山是火山爆发的中心处。

From here, there were much more green plants than before.

从这里开始，绿色植物比之前还要多。

The plants are all different to Austria or to China, but make the landscape interesting and nice.

与奥地利和中国的植物相比，这里的植物的确与众不同，却给这一奇特地貌增添了特色，而且还起到美化地貌的作用。

At many places in the natural park there were information points which explained how the volcano was formed or which types of plants were growing there.

在自然公园的许多地方，可以看到信息台，向人们介绍火山如何形成或者这里生长的各种不同植物。

After hiking, we drove to the capital of Teneriffa, Santa Cruz. Before we went there, we thought the capital should be very beautiful, but actually, it was not, and let us feel disappointed.

徒步之旅结束后，我们便驾车前往特纳里夫海岛的首都，桑塔克鲁斯。之前我们都以为首都应该是座很漂亮的城市，而事实上却不是这样，让我们挺失望的。

In this picture, it was a big theater in Santa Cruz.

像片里的这座建筑物是桑塔克鲁斯市的大剧院。

There was a huge harbour in Santa Cruz, many worldwide cruise ships can be seen here.

在桑塔克鲁斯市有个巨大的海港，许多来自世界各地的巡洋游轮随处可见。

Now we drove to Playa de las Teresitas, a beautiful beach. The yellow sands on this beach is original from the Sahara desert in Africa.

现在我们前往美丽的普勒亚·德·拉斯·特纳西塔斯海滩。海滩上的黄色细沙来自非洲的萨哈拉沙漠。

This is a Strelitzia, very beautiful flower. In Teneriffa, we could see this flower at many places.

这是鹤望兰，一种非常美丽的花。在特纳里夫海岛上，许多地方都可以看到这种花。

We took dinner in Santa Cruz. I ordered the rabbit meat, very delicious, and my honey ordered grilled squid.

我们在首都桑塔克鲁斯市吃晚餐，我点的是兔肉，非常好吃，我老公点的是烤鱿鱼。

On the third day in Teneriffa, we just only took an easy day to have a good rest in the hotel, because the first two days were too tired, we needed save more energy for tomorrow's hiking. We slept as long as possible, and only went out to take lunch for a while, so we did not take many pictures.

特纳里夫之行的第三天，我们只是在酒店里放松地度过，因为头两天的活动行程让我们都感觉有些疲惫，所以需要为明天的登山养精蓄锐。我们尽可能地睡足睡饱，只有午餐的时侯出门了一会儿，所以这天我们没有多拍像片。

On the way to the restaurant, we took a picture for this hotel which was beside ours.

这座酒店位于我们酒店旁边，在去餐馆的途中，我们拍下了这张像片。

It was our lunch, mixed grilled meats: beef, pork, lamb, chicken and bacon.

This morning, 9am, we flew to Teneriffa, Spain. It took us about 5 hours to arrive the destination. As soon as we reached this island, the sunny weather and warm temperature made us feel very comfortable. We love this feeling, just like in the summer, because compare with the cold Austria in December, Teneriffa is really much more nicer.

今天早上9点，我们飞往西班牙的特纳里夫海岛，大约花了5个小时才抵达目的地。当我们一踏上这片海岛的时侯，阳光明媚的天气和温暖的气温让我们感觉非常舒服。我们喜欢这种感觉，就像是在夏天一样，因为和寒冷的奥地利相比，特纳里夫海岛的12月真的要强百倍。

Returning to our hotel now!

现在我们回到了酒店！

Comparing with last November, Austria has much more snow in this year. Usually, November is the worst month here, i mean, the weather is too bad, not so much sunshine, and often very cold with lots of rains. So, if it has sunny day, most of people prefer to do some outdoor activities and enjoy the warm sunshine, rather than to stay at home.

今年11月，奥地利下的雪比去年还要多。通常这里的11月是最糟糕的月份，我的意思是，这个月的气候很不好，没有多少阳光明媚的日子，时常是阴冷多雨的天气。所以，一旦出太阳，多数人都想到户外运动运动，享受下温暖的阳光，而不是呆在家里面。

During my first 3 months of pregnancy, I did not take so much outdoor activities as usual, I had to be much more careful and avoid aborting. But now, I have already passed the most dangerous period of pregnancy, and can take some suitable sports as much as possible, it is good for my body.

在怀孕的前3个月里，我没有像往常那样频繁地进行户外活动，因为这段时间我要很小心，以免流产。但是现在，我已经度过了怀孕最危险期，可以尽可能多地进行一些适当的运动，这样对我的身体很有帮助。

Actually, last week, I went hiking with my honey, but there were not special sceneries, and we only took few pictures, so we did not want to write a blog for it. But today, the hiking is much more interesting than last time, and we decide to write something for it, after all, our travel blog has already not been updated for quite a long time.

其实上周我和我老公就一起去爬山了，但那个地方没有什么特别的景色，而且我们拍的像片也不多，所以不想为此写篇博文。但是今天的这次爬山要比上次的更加有趣，于是决定写点什么，毕竟我们的旅游博客已经好久没有更新了。

Yesterday, the mountain just got lots of fresh snow, it made this area look so beautiful.

昨天山上刚下过一场大雪，让这片地区看起来非常漂亮。

Such a nice weather!

多好的天气啊！

I liked walking on the fresh snow, and liked playing the soft snow with my snow shoes, very interesting!

我喜欢在新雪上行走，也喜欢用雪鞋来玩这些柔软的白雪，很有意思！

I fell down suddenly while playing, but the soft snow did not give me any troubles.

在玩的时侯，我突然摔倒了，但柔软的白雪没有给我这个孕妇带来任何麻烦。

What was I looking at? hmm...I forgot, hehe!

我在看什么呢？嗯……忘了，呵呵！

Walking on such soft snow, I really looked like a kid, because I liked to stop to play the snow...

走在这柔软的雪地上，我真的感觉自己像是个孩子，因为我喜欢停下来玩耍……

...I used my snow shoes to spade up the snow...

……我用雪鞋来铲雪……

...and then I knelt down, seemed like getting into very deep snow, haha...

……然后跪下来，看上去就像陷入很深的雪地里，哈哈……

...but when I wanted to stand up, I found it was too difficult, because my snow shoes were too big and too heavy...

……但是当我想要站起来的时侯，才发现是那么的困难，因为我的雪鞋太大太重了……

...I was trying my best to stand up, really regreted kneeling down just now...

……我尽全力地让自己站起来，实在后悔刚才跪下来……

...oh my God, I stood up finally, oh yeah!!!!!

……天啊，我终于站起来了，欧耶！！！！

At that time, we just only finished 1/3 of the whole route. So I could not play any more, should keep hiking quickly, if not, it would get dark.

那时侯我们才刚走完全程的三分之一，所以我不能再继续贪玩下去了，得抓紧时间赶路，否则天就要黑了。

Now we were ready to walk through a forest. There was a small hut in front of us...

现在我们正准备穿过一片森林，眼前有个小木屋……

... another one in the forest.

……走到森林里还有一个小木屋。

After hiking about 1.5 hours, we found a big ground to take a picnic.

大概过了一个半小时，我们找了块很大的空地野餐。

Although it still had so much sunshine, it already was the sunset, and the temperature was getting lower and lower quickly.

尽管还有那么多的阳光，但夕阳即将西下了，气温很快地越降越低。

I was enjoying the last sunshine of the sunset. But I felt too cold. I changed a pair of the thickest gloves, my fingers still were almost freezing.

我在享受夕阳的最后一缕阳光。可是我感觉非常冷，换了双最厚的手套，还是感觉手指都快冻僵了。

Now we could not see the sunshine any more, and had to go back home immediately.

此刻我们已经看不到一丝的阳光了，不得不收拾行装立即打道回府。

Today the weather was very perfect in Autumn, so we did not want to stay at home and wasted such a beautiful sunshine. But considering for my pregnancy, just only the 39th day, still should be a little careful, then we did not choose the difficult route for hiking. The main goal was to breathe some fresh air, baskin the warm sunshine, take some exercises to make our bones and muscles stronger.

自入秋以来，今天的天气再好不过了，所以我们不想呆在家里而浪费如此灿烂的阳光。但考虑到我才怀孕第39天，还需要小心点，于是我们就选择简易的路段徒步行。主要目的是为了呼吸点新鲜空气，晒晒太阳，活动活动下筋骨。

Hoher First is located in Salzburg, it is a very popular hiking place for the different ages people.

厚赫费尔斯特山位于萨尔兹堡州，各个年龄段的人们都喜欢到这里徒步行。

It is the parking place.

停车场。

This is the Hoher First, our destination of today's hiking.

这就是厚赫费尔斯特山，今天我们徒步行的目的地。

Before going up to the Hoher First, I needed take a break, and save some energy, hehe...

在爬厚赫费尔斯特山之前，我需要休息一下，积蓄点能量，呵呵……

...ok, let's go!

……休息好了，咱们出发吧！

Poor pregnant woman, can not walk fast like before!

可怜的孕妇，没法像以前那样走的那么快！

I had to stop for a while, and drank some water about once per half hour...

每隔半小时，我就要停下来，喝点水……

...and I had to use my hands to support my waist, tried to keep my back straight, and avoided pushing too much pressure on my belly.

……而且还得用双手支撑着腰部，尽量让后背保持直立，避免往腹部施加太多的压力。

Finally, about one hour, we arrived the top of the Hoher First...

最后大概一小时后，我们达到了厚赫费尔斯特山山顶……

...and immediately asked someone to take two pictures for us.

……于是马上叫人帮我们俩拍2张合影。

After taking the pictures, we found a small poisonous snake baby, it moved fast, so it was difficult to take a nice picture for it.

拍照完，我们发现一条很小的毒蛇宝宝，它爬行速度非常快，所以很难拍出好的效果。

Now we sat down and had a rest. My honey still drank his beloved lemon bier, hehe!

现在我们坐下来休息一下，我老公依旧喝着他心爱的柠檬啤酒，呵呵！

They are the sceneries around the Hoher First.

这些是厚赫费尔斯特山周围的景色。

Now it was the time to go back.

我们下山回家的时间到了。

When we arrived the foot of the Hoher First, we found some fresh snow.

当我们到达山脚的时侯，发现一些新鲜的白雪。

This cloud looked so cute, so my honey took a picture for it.

这片云朵看起来非常可爱，于是我老公为它拍下了这张像片。

Today we went to Germany to visit the famous Königsee, at the same time, we also went to the Obersee for hiking.

今天我们去德国参观著名的国王湖，同时还去欧伯湖徒步行。

I already had heard that Königsee was very beautiful long time ago. However, my honey told me that it was not so special, but I did not believe, and now, i had to say that he was right!

很早以前我就听说过国王湖很美丽，然而，我老公却说那里很普通，没什么看头，我不相信。现在，我不得不承认他是对的！

After visiting the Königsee, to be honest, I really felt a little disappointed. It is really not so special as what I imagined at all. Comparing with the Wolfgangsee (Austria), Königsee is too plain and bored, because most of time we have to stay in the boat for sightseeing, and only one view point ( the red roof church) can be visited without staying in the boat.

参观完国王湖，说实话，我真的感到有些失望。那里的确根本没有像我想象的那么特别。与奥地利的沃尔夫岗湖相比，国王湖真的太乏味了，因为大部分时间我们不得不坐在小船里面观赏风景，只有一个景点（红顶教堂）可以下船参观。

In Austria, there are lots of beautiful lakes, but in Germany, much less than Austria, no wonder the Königsee is so popular in Germany. Besides, another reason why it is so popular, is that the second highest mountain in Germany (Watzmann) can be seen from the Königsee. But whatever, I still think that if people visit Austrian lakes first, then maybe will not think Königsee is the most beautiful one.

奥地利有许许多多美丽的湖泊，而德国却很少，难怪国王湖在德国如此地受欢迎。除此以外，国王湖出名的另外一个原因就是在那里可以看到德国第二高峰——瓦茨曼山。但不管怎样，我还是认为如果看过了奥地利的湖泊，再回头看国王湖，也许就不会觉得国王湖是最漂亮的。

Well, different people has different taste, I admit that there are still many people like Königsee, it still has its own value for appreciating, but unfortunately, not my honey and me! Although I felt disappointed for the Königsee, I still took some pictures there.

当然，不同的人有不同的品位，我承认还是有许多人喜欢国王湖，而且这个湖也有它自己的欣赏价值，只是很遗憾，我们小两口都不那么认为！尽管我对国王湖感到失望，但还是拍了不少像片。

Today the weather was not so nice. At the beginning it was sunny, but at the afternoon, suddenly was raining and very cold, too bad!

今天的天气不是很好，一开始晴天，但到了下午，突然下起雨来，而且变得非常的冷，很糟糕！

At the entrance of the Königsee, there are many tour buses parking there, but all of them are from Germany, hehe, so obviously the Königsee is really very popular in Germany.

在国王湖的入口处，有许多旅游大巴停在那里，但全部都来自德国，呵呵，显然国王湖在德国真的很受欢迎。

In the shopping area, there is a goat statue.

在购物区，有一尊山羊雕像。

Haha, here also is selling Mozart chocolate!

哈哈，这里也卖奥地利莫扎特巧克力！

My honey was buying the tickets for the boat.

我老公在买船票。

After buying the tickets, we still had 40 minutes free, so we decided to do some simple sightseeing in the shopping area. This time, we baught a cute mouse toy, we gave it a name Nini, hehe!

买完船票，我们还有40分钟的自由时间，于是我们决定简单参观下购物区。这次我们买了一只可爱的小老鼠毛绒玩具，我们给它取名为“妮妮”，呵呵！

It is the hotel in the shopping area, very old, seems like already has more than 100 years history.

这是购物区里的一家酒店，很古老，看上去已经有百年历史了。

Now we were in the boat already, still could see the buildings.

现在我们已经在小船上了，还可以看到岸上的建筑物。

Because the boat was very small, there were not enough space for the visitors taking picutures outside, you could found the shadow of the glass window in these pictures, hehe!

由于小船很小，没有足够大的空间让游人站在外面拍照，所以你们可以看到在这些像片里有玻璃窗的影子。

He is a guide.

他是一位导游。

Now we entered a special area of Königsee, here could make some echo. This guide was playing a trumpet, to let all the visitors could hear the interesting echo of the music.

现在我们进入国王湖里一个特别的地方——回音壁！这位导游正在用小喇叭演奏曲子，让大家都可以听到曲子有趣的回音。

Because the guide was standing just in front of us, and his body was too big, we could not see the trumpet in his hands, hehe！

由于这位导游刚好站在我们的正前方，再加上他体格庞大，所以我们没法看到他手里的小喇叭，呵呵！

It is the symbol view point of the Königsee, a red roof church.

这是国王湖的标志性景点——红顶教堂！

Because we had to go to the Obersee for hiking, the time was a little rushed, we would come back to visit the church later.

由于我们还要去欧伯湖徒步行，时间有点仓促，所以过后才会倒回去参观红顶教堂。

Now we continued taking the boat to the Obersee.

现在我们乘坐的小船继续向欧伯湖驶去。

Except for the church, there is really nothing special to see in the Königsee.

国王湖上，除了这个红顶教堂外，真的没有其他特别的地方好观赏的。

" Hey, do not take picture for me!"

“嘿，别给我拍照啊！”

Now we arrived the Obersee.

现在我们到达欧伯湖。

After about half hour hiking, we found the Obersee. This lake is much more smaller than the Königsee.

大概徒步行走半小时，我们看到了欧伯湖。这个湖比国王湖要小得多。

In the Obersee, I think only the inverted reflection of the mountains look not so sad, the others really are too bored.

在欧伯湖上，我觉得只有山峰的倒影比较好看，其他的实在很无聊。

Today we took too many pictures for the scenery, so now we had to take some for us together.

今天我们拍了太多风景照，所以现在也该给咱俩儿拍两张。

A hut in the Obersee.

欧伯湖上的小木屋。

Some visitor were stopping there, and took a break.

一些游人在此逗留歇息。

After hiking in the Obersee, we took the boat again, and ruturned to the church in Königsee.

走完欧伯湖，我们再次乘小船返回国王湖上的红顶教堂。

Now the weather started to get worse and worse.

现在的天气开始越变越糟了。

Inside of the church, very simple, nothing special, and has strange smell.

教堂里面，非常简陋，没有特别之处，而且还有一种怪味。

Now it is autumn already!

现在已经入秋了！

After visiting the church, we took the boat back to our parking place. We were still lucky and did not get wet before we arrived our car.

参观完红顶教堂，我们就乘船返回停车场。在到达车子之前，我们还是很幸运没有被雨淋到。

Haha, she is Nini, a little cute mouse we baught in the Königsee. On the way home, I took some pictures for her.

哈哈，她叫妮妮，我们在国王湖买的可爱的小老鼠。在回家的路上，我给她拍了几张像片。

" Look, I have a long tail!"

“看， 我有一条长长的尾巴！”

"Oh yeah, I will go to Austria!"

“欧耶，我要去奥地利咯！”

Today the weather was perfect for outdoor sports, so we did not want to stay at home and waste such beautiful sunshine and fresh air as usual.

今天的天气对于进行户外运动来说那是再好不过了，所以我们和往常一样，绝对不会浪费那么灿烂的阳光和新鲜的空气而呆在家里面。

This time we went to Gosausee in Upper Austria. It is a very popular place for hiking. Not only the kids, but also the old people, all the ages can find the enjoyment in Gosausee.

这次我们去上奥地利州的岣梢湖，这个地方非常适合徒步行。不论是小孩，还是老人，各个年纪的人都可以在这里找到各自的乐趣。

In Gosausee, people can see the highest mountain in Upper Austria, Dachstein, 2995m. This mountain is always covered by snow and glaciers in the four seasons.

在岣梢湖，人们可以看到上奥地利州的最高峰，海拔2995米的达赫斯坦山。这座山一年四季都被冰雪覆盖着。

Actually, the Gosausee has two parts, one big and one small. The big one is in front of the Gosausee hotel, the visitors can find it directly after parking the cars. It is a very beautiful lake. But the small one is not as beautiful as the big one, it is much more deeper in the forest, passing by the big one, still have to take more than one hour to reach there. So most of the pictures we took today are from the big Gosausee.

事实上，岣梢湖分为两部分，一大一小。大的位于岣梢湖酒店正前方，游人停好车后便可以直接一眼望到这个美丽的湖泊。但是小的岣梢湖就没有大的那么好看了，而且位于森林深处，需要经过大的佝梢湖之后，还要徒步行走一个多小时后才能到达。因此今天所拍到的像片，几乎都是在大的岣梢湖那拍的。

On my right side, there was a souvenir shop, but we did not go there, because today our main goal was hiking, not shopping, hehe!

在我的右手边，有一家纪念品商店，但是我们没有过去看，因为今天的主要任务是徒步行，而非购物，呵呵！

Gosausee Hotel, many visitors come here tasting the delicious food, while enjoying the nice view.

这就是岣梢湖酒店，许多游人来这里一边品尝美食，一边欣赏美景。

In front of the hotel, there is a ground for visitors to watch the Dachstein.

在酒店的正前方，有个供游人观赏达赫斯坦山的场所。

On this ground, there is a man-made fountain.

在这个场所上，有个人造喷泉。

At such a beautiful place, of course we wanted to take some pictures here...

在这样美丽的地方，我们肯定要多拍几张像片啦……

...a little closer...

……近点……

...much more closer, haha!

……再近点，呵呵！

Now we turned to the right side, and started hiking around the whole Gosausee.

现在我们向右边出发，准备徒步行走完整个岣梢湖。

It is a beautiful lake, isn't it?

多美的湖泊呀，不是么？

" Where is my left leg?"

“我的左腿呢？”

"Haha, it is here!"

“哈哈，在这儿呢！”

There were many families coming here to swim or bask in the warm sunshine.

有许多家庭来这里游泳或是晒太阳。

Could you find something in the lake?

你能发现湖里有什么东西么？

This big trumpet is not for speaking, but for listening to the sound of water.

这个大喇叭不是用来传音的，而是用来听水声的。

Washing hands beside the strange fountains.

在这个奇怪的喷泉旁洗手。

Look, what a clean lake!

看，湖水多清澈呀！

Now we had already finished half round of the big Gosausee, and started to visit the small one first, and then came back to finish another part of the big one. (sounds like a little complicated, right? hehe!)

现在我们已经走完一半的大岣梢湖了，接下来要去参观小岣梢湖，最后再倒回来完成大岣梢湖剩下的那一部分。（听起来好象有点复杂，对吧？呵呵！）

Before reaching the small Gosausee, we should go through a forest. In this picture, you can see a woody tower for hunting.

在到达小岣梢湖前，我们要穿过一片森林。像片上，可以看到一个供猎人打猎用的木制望台。

On the way to the small Gosausee, we still wanted to take some pictures with the Dachstein, hehe!

在前往小岣梢湖的途中，我们还是不忘要和达赫斯坦山合影下，呵呵！

After more than one hour hiking, we had already been very sweaty, because most of the routes were steep, too tired for hiking.

走了大概一个多小时，我们已经满身大汗了，因为许多路段都很陡峭，走起来非常辛苦。

Now we sat down for a while to have a rest. Looking at my honey's red face, already could guess how tired he was, hehe!

现在我们坐下来休息一下。看我老公那红扑扑的脸蛋，已经可以猜到他有多累了，呵呵！

One part of the small Gosausee. Comparing with the big one, this one is really too small, and has not so much nice views to enjoy.

这是小岣梢湖的一部分，和大的相比，这里实在太小了，而且也没有多少景色可以观赏的。

But we were hungry now, so we had to find some place to sit down, and took a simple picnic beside the small Gosausee.

但是现在我们肚子饿了，只好找个地方坐下，在小岣梢湖旁简单地野餐一下。

After eating, we continued going back to the big Gosausee.

餐后，我们便继续返回大岣梢湖。

Now we had already been at another part of the big Gosausee. In this picture, we found some interesting petrifactions of the ancient halobios.

现在我们已经到达大岣梢湖的另外一部分。像片上，我们发现一些有趣的古代海洋生物化石。

Can you recognize all of them?

你能辨别出它们么？

" Water is energy". It shows people that how the water making the energy.

“水是一种能源”。这里给人们展示水是如何制造能源的。

These glass containers have different color waters of the lake, and each one can make different sound.

这些玻璃容器里装着不同颜色的湖水，每个容器都发出各自不同的声响。

After about 5 hours hiking, we arrived our start location--Gosausee Hotel again.

徒步行走了大概5个小时，我们又回到了起点——岣梢湖酒店。
