Nishant and I were in South Lake Tahoe this weekend and what a great trip it was. Its a beautiful place, serene, refreshing - I feel so rejuvenated after this trip, very much needed after my Vegas hangover from last weekend.
This being my first visit to Tahoe, I was looking fwd to it but I was surprised by its sheer beauty. After visiting Maldives, I was thinking - "How beautiful can a Lake get, right?". We got to bask in the Tahoe beauty on a sunny Saturday morning when the lake was showing off its ultramarine and turquoise blue colors. Clear, not so salty and not so chilly water looked very inviting and we decided to book ourselves some water sports for Sunday morning. Saturday was a 2mile hike to the Eagle Lake which is right next to the Emerald Lake. Its a short but steep hike, the heat and the hike both sapped a ton of my energy. But it was completely worth it. The Eagle Lake nestled amongst the mountains was so enchanting. OF course, my hike last year in Melakwa Lake (Seattle) was much much more beautiful, but this had its own charm. The weather was warm enought to dip your feet in the lake water.
Next day, the not so cheap parasailing and jet skiing was on the agenda. We were in the same boat as 4 other young girls for Parasailing...I felt old!!! It was a fabulous experience as we flew in tandem in the air. Breathtaking views of Tahoe along with the quiet - great combination, one of the best moments in the entire trip. The staff at the Timber Cove Marina were also excellent. This was followed by jet skis. Unfortunately while riding, the jet ski toppled, we fell into the lake and we were not strong enough to overturn it, thats when one of the other jet ski riders came along as an angel and helped us straighten the boat....although a cold and a little scary experience it was FUN!!!!
Now back home, to work and training I do miss my lovely Tahoe weekend. More Pictures coming soon
