On Sunday morning we continued our road trip south towards Lake Tahoe. We crossed the state line very quickly, and arrived in California. James had the excellent idea of breaking our journey at Lassen Volcanic National Park. I must admit that I had never heard of it before, however it turned out to be an absolute gem. As its name suggests it has a volcanic landscape dominated by the pointy and impressive Lassen Peak. It is full of lakes and forests and is very beautiful. It was also very hot, as I noticed when we walked round Manzanita Lake. We ended up spending several hours in the park instead of the quick stop that we had intended. This meant that we didn’t arrive at Lake Tahoe until the evening, but who cares - we’re on our holidays and can do as we please!
We arrived in Incline Village to discover that our hotel is a large casino hotel, very smart with a big outdoor pool and several restaurants. It is just over the state line into Nevada which means that we have been in three states in one day! I went for a swim before dinner and it was so cool and refreshing after the hot day.
