06.06.2019 - North Lake Tahoe
Travelling this time was DH (54) - driver/eater/moaner/petrol head/biker
Me (51) - navigator/planner/booker/spreadsheet creator/feeder We did quite well this morning after a relatively late night last night. I think we might be finally getting used to the time difference. Breakfast was back in Nicely's and was a much smaller affair than yesterday. We both had eggs and hash browns with coffee. Meat free today! Once we had packed the car up said goodbye to Ozzie we set the GPS for our next location. North Lake Tahoe The drive was about 130 miles and we decided to stop off at South Lake Tahoe first. More wonderful scenery and open road on the way which slowly climbed as we got closer We arrived at South Lake Tahoe around lunchtime so we parked up and sat on the edge of the lake with a muffin and a coffee each near a manmade beach, which was being fully utilised. It was a lovely spot and we enjoyed the vibe. The second part of the drive was up the east side of Lake Tahoe to our motel near Kings Beach. The Firelite Lodge - £235 for 2 nights The motel was lovely. Smelt new and was very comfortable and roomy. The room even had a fireplace! Won't be needing that (or so we thought! ) and this was the view from our small balcony to the small beach right opposite Most importantly there were laundry facilities too which I made full use of immediately. It only took around an hour and whilst I was waiting for it I took a short walk to the steakhouse next door to see whether we fancied a visit there for dinner. It was quite a high end establishment with a pretty expensive menu, and we couldn't really be bothered to dress up tonight, so once the washing was folded and put away we took a short drive to the local supermarket which was 5 minutes up the road. It was 6pm by now and we made some suitable purchases for dinner We then decided to stretch our legs and walk over to the beach to have a look. The road outside was pretty busy so we always used the crossing a short walk up to the junction, but it was no issue. It was such a beautiful place. There was a jetty and a beach, and it was mostly deserted as the more popular Kings Beach a short drive up the main road was where most people were. We got chatting to the only other people around who were from Hampshire! A lovely couple who were travelling with friends from Oz. They took a photo of us and I think you can see just how windy it was! In fact is was positively brass monkeys! That photo was taken between tidal waves which were crashing over the barrier behind us and almost getting us wet! We stayed for ages chatting and only made our way back to our room when the sun had gone down, by which time I was absolutely frozen! Now how do you light that fire in the room?!

More lovely scenery. Looks like a lovely place.
So satisfying to get your washing done too! Must have been difficult to know what to pack with the weather being hot and cold so far. |
