Hotel check-out in Verona ๐จ
→ Drive to Munich ๐
→ Arrive at Munich Airport โ๏ธ
→ Return rental car
Today marked the end of another chapter of our journey.
We checked out of our hotel in Verona early in the morning
and began the long drive towards Munich Airport.
Saying goodbye to the place we had called home for the past few days
felt surprisingly emotional.
As we packed our luggage and loaded it into the car,
memories of our time in Northern Italy flooded back.
It felt like we were closing the book on a beautiful story.
The drive took about five and a half hours,
but it never felt boring.
Outside the window, the scenery kept changing—
lush green fields, snow-tipped mountains in the distance,
and small, charming villages passing by one after another.
It all felt like part of the journey itself.
We stopped at rest areas to grab coffee,
nibbled on snacks from the trunk,
and quietly enjoyed this peaceful stretch of time.


.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Munich Airport,
where we finally said goodbye to our rental car—
the trusty companion that carried us all across Europe.
Thanks to the car, our journey had been incredibly flexible and full of adventure.
Handing over the keys felt a little sad,
like saying farewell to a partner who had traveled every road with us.
Though we didn’t visit any new sights today,
this quiet day of travel gave us time to reflect.
Tomorrow, we return to everyday life.
But even now, the feelings and memories from this trip linger deeply.
With a grateful heart,
I gently close this final page of our journey.
