We spent the first week of our 3-week Italy trip in Salò on Lake Garda. After flying into Milan and stopping for lunch in Bergamo, we spent a week on Lake Garda at Conte Brunello (a place we stayed before). We had the top floor apartment with a view over the lake and mountains. Each morning the kids could get fresh eggs from the chickens. We swam every day and ate breakfast outside each morning.
We visted a water park, a lemon farm and went swimming in the lake (cold, clear water). We ate ice cream every day and filled ourselves with pasta.
I will now include descriptions of our week from what the boys wrote in our travel journal…
Max: We went up a mountain and then down. We swam alot.
Leo: We went to a water park. My favorite slide: Black Hole!
Max: We swam, swam, swam, swam, ate, swam, swam and had fun.
Leo: Ice cream of the day – chocolate mint.
Max: We swam and saw lemons. Not much more.
