Today my
little tour starts, which has the main goals to cycle around Lake Tahoe and the
Yosemite Valley. In view of the ridiculously low hotel prices (2 nights in the
4 Star Silver Legacy for 100$) I chose Reno as my first stop on the tour.
However,
back in the “good old days” they sure knew how to treat a Lady. The prison for
the “naughty girls” was not actually in the Court Building, but under the main stairs! Not exactly snug.
In the old
town apparently the “Old Town Pizza” is the place to go for a late breakfast or
early Lunch as the place was packed full at 11 o'clock. Indeed, I can only recommend the
Grilled Chicken-Mushroom Sandwich there it was great.
Next up
the road was the Donner Pass (2160 m), which is not only an important road
crossing of the Sierras but also for the rail way. From there another 60 Miles
and I arrived in Reno the “biggest little city in the world”.
After
trying my luck to become a Millionaire by betting 15$ on the slot machines (I failed miserably), I
chose to go for Dinner and watch a Baseball game on the TV. From this
you might guess my attitude towards gambling and I really cannot understand
what makes people to come here for that. Even more than in Las Vegas the
atmosphere is quite particular, everything looks like a cheap copy of something.
