After waking up around 7.30 a.m. we went for breakfast again. Because we were not really convinced by yesterday's buffet we tried another one today - and were positively surprised: a much better assortment, and - most important - all tasted much better. So we could start our day...

Today we headed south and had a short trip to California already - a tour around Lake Tahoe. First we passed Carson City, and then the road turned right and upwards into the mountains, higher and higher. It didn't last for too long and the first blue shimmering by the water could be spotted. Shortly after that Lake Tahoe was in front of us: with today's bright sunshine the water was shining in beautiful blue shades. It was simply an amazing view!

We made some stopovers, checked the water, an of course took some pictures. And again and again we gazed at the beautiful nature. Finally the lake was rounded once, and the drive back led us to Reno via I-80.

Back in the hotel we had some time for some card playing at our room, and then we went for another circus act - this time with dogs. Afterwards we had dinner at the buffet again before watching a further acrobatics show. The remaining of the evening was spent at the room.
