Day 10 - June 17th
Well the hospitality continued from last night. A huge beautiful breaky was cooked for us. We chilled some more and played a deadly version of table tennis. This was something that Emilie seemed to excel at. Then it was time to unwillingly leave. But before we said our goodbyes we had another surprise. There it was, a pinyata. So we lined up and put the blindfold on. We had a swing and the poor thing lost a couple of legs before we managed to put it out of its misery. Then the lollies were shared around.
We drove around Lake Tahoe, through the ritzy area, past Ponderoza ranch (where bonanza was filmed). We got to the campground at Xepther Cove. It was a very dusty campground. Pitched tents and walked down to the beach, not really a big beach. From what I could gather the water was cold but that did not seem to phase Janne. This beach seemed to put baywatch to shame. It was a cross between a nightclub and a beach, waitresses serving cocktails and it had a "pick up joint" feeling all over it. One interesting moment was when one of the women that was sitting 6 foot in front of me in a G-string decided to lay down on the banana lounge in a very revealing position. I will leave your imagination to the rest. I will always remember Bens face and Adam & Gordon's neck must have been sore for hours : )
We then readied ourself for the nightly activities. We had a sunset sail cruise organised, wine and champagne were supplied and we took advantage of that. We basically sailed from one side of the lake to the other and watched the sunset. No-one fell over board.
We then got dropped off at the Nv/Ca state line, which coincidently was where the Casinos started . We hit the Harrah, Bills and Ceasors. Sara was a good gambling companion. Every time that she would make a mistake and gamble more than usual it would come up a winner. So we played the machines for 3 or so hours, drank our complimentary drinks all for the price of a cab fare. Fun night all around.
