Day 111 - San Francisco - Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA
Day 111 – 27th September 2005 -8:00 GMT Total Miles 17474
Early Morning for me as I have to check out of the hostel before 10am. Jill sits outside the hostel with all our bags whilst Reece and I walk the 5 blocks to pick the car up. After a little negotiating of San Francisco’s one way streets we find Jill and load up the bags. Then off we go again this time we travel East firstly crossing over the 8 miles long Bay Bridge that takes us out of San Francisco. We head North for a while then East. We get to Sacramento which is the capital of California and have a drive around then we decide to stop for some lunch, So a quick wander around a local mall then some food and we are on our way again. We decide to take the South route to Tahoe along Route 50, we climb up to 8,350ft along the winding roads as we pass through the mountains.

Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its kind in America sitting at around 7,300 ft. Our Hotel is the Horizon Hotel and Casino Complex situated in South Lake. It is located around 100 meteres across the state line in Nevada. We check in and get a reasonable sized room for the low hotel cost price and a splendid view over the lake.

The area is gorgeous a clear blue lake and high mountains. We relax in our room for a couple of hours.

Then Reece and I go and visit the local casino’s for a look around. First we visit Caesars, then Bills, then Harrahs, then Harveys. We play the slots in a few of them and both Reece and I win at all the casino’s.
