We were a bit slow getting out of our accomodation at the Yosemite Bug, due to only getting back to the room at about midnight after our sunset walk and the drive back. Heading from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe, the Tioga Pass through Yosemite was still closed due to snow, so we took the Sonora Pass, not in the park but a bit further north. The drive was quite fun, long winding bends which you could take at about 70miles, a nice change from the hairpin turns in the park. We stopped along the way for lunch by a lake.
We arrived at Tahoe at about 6.30pm, and still had to find some accomodation. We headed to the West side of the lake, we had been told it was a bit nicer. Crusing along we found a little place called Tahoma, and by chance the second place we tried was quite rewasonable, nice and had vacancy... nice! After beer and pizza in a local restaurant we headed back to the accomodation. We got talking to some guys who were opening a cafe in the building and had about 3 days to get it all set up. They were working pretty hard and were really nice, so christine helped them out and painted a few things for them, including the Icecream Sign!
The following day we explored the lake area, the lake is massive, we only made it about 1/4 of the way around it. We saw another waterfall, eagle falls, was nothing compared to those in Yosemite. We had lunch at Cascade falls, another walk which wearing thongs did not make any easier! We then did a bit of the Rubicon Train in DL Bliss state park, which had great views of the lake, emerald bay and a little lighthouse. We had leftover pizza and beers on the pier while watching sunset before retreating back to the accomodation and helping out in the cafe for a bit before bed.
