Da uns Locarno im Mai so gut gefallen hat, entschieden wir uns dazu, auch unseren diesjährigen Urlaub da zu verbringen.
Locarno was such a pleasure in month may that we decided to spend our vacation there, too.

Der erste Tag war leider ziemlich verregnet und wir relaxten einfach in der Wohnung und schauten gemeinsam Filme an :)
The first day was very rainy so we just relaxed in the flat and we watched movies the whole day :)

Den Rest der Zeit hatten wir Glück mit dem Wetter und nutzen mehr und weniger intensive sonnigen Tage zum Wandern. Unsere erste große Wanderung war sehr lang und beinhaltete auch einige Höhenmeter. Diese Wanderung spürte ich noch ganze 5 Tage danach in meinen Waden! :D Aber diese Wanderung hatte einige schöne Momente, wenn sie manchmal auch etwas anstrengend war. Die Aussicht, die wir sehr oft von den Bergen ins Tal hatten, war spektakulär! Die vielen alten Häuser auf dem Weg gaben Einblick in das Leben vor gut 100 Jahren dort in dem Tal. Manchmal standen sogar noch ganze verlassene Dörfer an den Berghängen. Einige einzelne Häuser waren sogar noch bewohnt und sahen richtig gut aus. Ein tolles Highlight war ein Restaurant auf dem Gipfel eines Berges. Wir saßen draußen und aßen lecker Polenta, ein traditionelles Gericht aus der Gegend.
The rest of the time we had luck with the weather and used the more and less sunny days for hiking trips. Our first and biggest hiking trip was very long and had a big altitude difference. That hike I could feel whole 5 days in my calves! :D That hike was sometimes very strenious but had a lot of very nice moments. The view we had very often from the mountains was spectacular! Many old houses on the way give us an impression how the life was 100 years ago. Sometimes there have been totally left villages. Some single houses are still inhabited and looked very good. A highlight was a restaurant on the top of a mountain. We sat outside and ate Polenta, a traditional meal in this region.

Einen weniger sonnigen Tag nutzten wir, um ins Lido zu gehen, einem großen Schwimmbad mit Sauna- und Wellnessbereich. Wir relaxten und lockerten unsere Muskeln als Vorbereitung für unsere nächste Wanderung.
A less sunny day we used to go to the Lido, a swimming pool with sauna and wellness area. We chilled and relaxed our muscles as preparation for the next hike.

Die 2. Wanderung war etwas kürzer und mit weniger Höhenmetern, aber trotzdem sehr schön. Auf dieser Wanderung gab es 2 Highlights :) Nummer 1 war ein kleines altes Weindorf in den Bergen... Total urig, mit ganz alten kleinen Steinhäusern und dem Wanderpfad unter hängendem Wein hindurch. Wir pflückten natürlich einige der Weintrauben ... Sie schmeckten total gut! Das 2. Highlight war eine riiiiiieeeeeesengrooooooße Zucchini, die draußen an einem Zaun hing und uns so sehr anlächelte, dass wir sie kurzerhand mitnahmen. Direkt am gleichen Abend gab es ein Gericht damit und ich kann nur sagen, dass sie wirklich sehr gut gechmeckt hat!
The 2nd hike was a bit shorter and with less altitude difference, but it was as great as the first one. On this hike we had 2 highlight :) Number one was a very small wine village in the mountains ... very cozy with rustic charme, very old small stony houses and the path under hanging grapes. Off course we picked some grapes ... very delicious! The second highlight was a veeeeeeeeerrrrrryyyyy big zucchini. It was hanging outside of a garden and we just took it with us. In the same evening we cooked something out of it and I can just say: the taste was great!

Ein anderer toller Ausflug war eine Tour nach Bellinzona zu den 3 Burgen, die heute zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO gehören.
Another great trip went to the 3 castles of Bellinzona, which are world culture heritage of the UNESCO.
An einem weiteren Tag sind wir durchs Universum gelaufen und sind in unserem Sonnensystem bis zum Saturn gekommen. Uranus, Neptun und Pluto haben wir leider nicht mehr gefunden.... Da hatten wir uns doch tatsächlich im Sonnensystem verlaufen :p
On another day we went through the universe and even reached the saturn in our solar system. Uranus, neptune and pluto we didn't find ... we really got lost in our solar system :p
