We drove from San Jose up to Lake Tahoe, then on to Reno where we stayed for one night. There were quite a lot of visitors around Lake Tahoe. Unfortunately the forest-fires around California made the visibility lower, so when we went up with the cable car we didn’t see much from the mountain. Then on to Reno, which feels like a small Las Vegas but without the glitter and extravaganza, it’s more pure-gambling. But the Atlantis is a very nice hotel with a fabulous dinner buffet, we really enjoyed it. On the second day we visited the National Automobile Museum, it has a unique collection of historic automobiles, highly recommended!
