Fact: Lake Tahoe is the most beautiful place we have ever seen. Another fact: it is a VERY GOOD idea to climb up a massive cliff to watch the sunset with steak sandwiches. We drove up to Lake Tahoe in the middle of the night after the San Fran gig (that’s right, Ollie is an absolute saint) to get to our lovely room at the Forest Suites hotel. We had a day off the next day to explore, and maaan were we awestruck by the beauty of the place. It is fantastic! We saw an overview of the whole giant lake, powerful giant waterfalls and still, peaceful clearings with calm lakes and floating ducks. The mountains still had snow on the tips even though down at the base we were able to relax on sunny beaches. That evening we did the sunset walk up to cave rock, and saw a brilliant red and gold sunset over the dark lake. It was breathtaking. (Look at us getting all mushy about this..) The next day was the day of our gig in Sacramento at the ‘BeatNik Studios’ a fantastic art gallery, photography studio and music venue all in one, run by extremely talented young artists. It was one of the best gigs from the whole tour and the other artists who played were amazing and really genuine and lovely people. Possibly the best live music we have heard in a long time! We also got to brush up on our California slang (Hella, you feel me? Word.) The drive back to Lake Tahoe in the wee hours of the morning was sleeeeepy and as soon as we got to the hotel we conked out.
