Our last day in Lake Garda was everything we wanted it to be. Paddle boats, tennis, the pool, and saying goodbye to a great group of people. A full day wrapping up an unforgettable stay before heading to Morocco.

We missed our final bike ride but still squeezed in one last lap of Lake Garda life. A ferry to Garda, lakeside markets, pizza, gelato, and a big farewell dinner wrapped up another unforgettable day.

From morning tennis and gym sessions to building Kia’s website, poolside chats and another big night of paddle tennis, Day 154 was one of those simple but full family travel days. The biggest takeaway? The kids are loving the freedom of life here in Lake Garda so much they’re already asking to stay longer.

A slow, slightly snotty start turned into one of those parenting days full of friendship drama, poolside tension, and emotional resets. From kids clashing over games to an unexpected vineyard bike ride and hidden forest trails near Lake Garda, Day 153 was a reminder that sometimes the best part of travel is simply finding space to reset.

A last-minute bus trip to Verona turned into one of our favourite days in Italy. From ancient arenas and medieval castles to wandering old streets and eating way too much gelato, it was a full day of history, exploring, and just taking it all in as a family.

A cruisy day around Lake Garda turned into one of our favourites. A family bike ride to Peschiera del Garda, exploring the old fortress town, a bit of gelato regret, a failed bike track mission, and our first ever game of padel with new friends.

A slow, rainy day turned into one of those unexpected travel days where the kids disappear on bikes, build their own adventures, and we’re left juggling work, patchy internet, and a bit of planning for what’s next.

After a huge day at Movieland, we all needed a reset. A slow morning turned into bikes, tennis, the pool, and a quiet night in, choosing rest over another big social evening.

A full day at Movieland turned into one of the biggest days yet. From jet boats and dinosaurs to roller coasters and spin rides, we were soaked, sunburnt, and completely exhausted by the end… but the kids absolutely loved every second of it.

We woke to the sound of breakfast already being made, kids roaming freely, a solid 10K run, a surprise cooking lesson, and a big social day that ended with late-night soccer and a tired but full crew.

We swapped our usual routine for a full day on bikes, riding along the edge of Lake Garda with friends, weaving through crowded markets, and finishing with what might be the best gelato we’ve had in Italy.

A slow, rainy start turned into one of those unexpectedly good days, workouts, new friendships, kids running wild, and new ideas starting to take shape.

A slower day by Lake Garda filled with tennis, a cruisy 5K run, new friendships, and the reality of travel routines. We’re balancing freedom, family time, and the decision of when to bring structure back in.

After a much-needed slow start, the day unfolded with tennis lessons, pool time, new friendships, and a glimpse into what life could look like in northern Italy. A relaxed, sun-filled day that ended later than usual, just how the locals do it.

What started as a simple car drop-off in Verona turned into a 24km run through vineyards, quiet towns, and back to Lake Garda. One of those unplanned days that ends up being one of the best.
