We spent Monday in and around our resort at Lake Tahoe. It’s a big lake surrounded by villages which are mainly ski resorts in the winter, although that’s so hard to imagine now when it’s so hot and sunny. Our hotel is in Incline Village and we both have mixed feelings about it because on one hand it is too big and busy for our tastes, but on the other hand it is luxurious with a choice of restaurants and its own beautiful private beach. We went for a walk along the lakeside road in the morning but it just seemed to be a string of private resorts so we decided to embrace the Hyatt resort experience and headed to the beach. It was rather lovely and although there were lots of families enjoying the lake, there was plenty of room for everyone. The lake is the most stunning clear blue and it is ringed with mountains. Needless to say, I soon plunged in and spent quite a bit of time swimming. The water was about the temperature of a swimming pool and very clear and clean. I just loved it! There were resort staff roaming the beach enthusiastically to take orders for drinks and lunch, which arrived in large brown paper bags. There was also a lakeside restaurant but we preferred to stay outside.
We spent the rest of the day there and then had dinner at the Cutthroat’s Saloon which had good food and also about a dozen huge television screens mounted around its walls. This meant that you could simultaneously watch baseball, poker or reality tv. They were all subtitled so that you could follow the commentary. I was thrilled with this and asked James if we could have a similar set up at home!
