Tuesday in South Lake Tahoe




We all travelled over the mountains again down to South Lake Tahoe. We spotted a small fairground and the boys had tremendous fun for an hour or so. Jo played spectator but Scott, Lucy and I all had turns on the various slides and go-karts (see photo above).


Lunch was at the local brewpub that I found out about the night before - Lucy couldn't believe I hadn't arrived in USA, fully researched on all the microbreweries and brewpubs in Northern Nevada! It was pretty good, but our waitress was a bit of a dipstick and needed reminding about a couple of things.


It was a tough call whether to go for a sail on the Tahoe Queen or a ride up the mountain on the Heavenly gondola. In the end we chose the latter, which made Jo a bit nervous, especially on the steep part of the climb. However, it was well worth it - the views from the walkway at the first station were fantastic.
When we came down, it was time to visit the Cold Stone Creamery for ice creams and smoothies - lovely, but we all felt a bit bloated afterwards and nobody was in a hurry to eat anything by the time we got back to the resort.
