Pictures of lake Garda and the towns of Arco and Garda, active liesure in Northern Italy
This is a photo review of the lake Garda area and the towns of Arco and Garda in northern Italy.
Arco is a small town in northern Italy which attracts tourists from Europe. Here you don't feel visiting one big museum, as in Rome, don't go shopping, as in Milan and see no Venetian gondolas, but you have something - rocks. A lot of rocks. Professionals and amateurs will find an opportunity for active recreation here. There is even a climbing route for blind people next to the town. Absolute beginners can start with the Via Ferrata route.
Photo-album from a family car trip to Norway
This photo-album is from a family car-trip to Norway. We were impressed by the central part of the country, full of mountain rivers, waterfalls and rocks. We were ready to meet at least a dinosaur at any corner. We also saw the 8th Wonder of the World - the Atlantic road that connects 6 islands in the ocean. Both kids and adults were very impressed!
