Great friends…..

Last day at this amazing location, we were very lucky that the lady at the information centre in Truckee mentioned this hotel. The hotel is in a town called Camp Richardson which has a population of 75, it is only ten minutes drive from South Lake Tahoe.

Before making our way to Bliss Cafe, we walked to the beach which is about five minutes away from the hotel. We made our last trip to Bliss Cafe for breakfast, I had the pecan waffles. Sangeet had the chocolate chip pancakes. These were balanced with very healthy smoothies!

Sangeet asked for a gluten free burger and no tempeh (as it contains gluten) the bun was gluten free but she got Tempeh in the burger which was missing from mine so Sangeet gave it to me. When one places an order for food the staff give you some fruit as a table marker, when the waiter who also cooked the food came out he asked if that was a pear on our table…..it was an apple, not sure how, especially a chef can make this mistake!

The burger was very good. As we have been to this restaurant before we can definitely recommend it.

Onwards to our very good friends in Danville.

On arrival in Danville I remembered why I want to move to the Bay Area, this town is amazing, pristine and has many gated communities. So love this place!

We drove up to Gurrinder’s house, Gurrinder paji (brother) and phenji (sister) came out to welcome us, it was great seeing them.

The evening was spent chatting and playing with their six year old sun called Daya Singh. Phenji had cooked a amazing meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed in their lovely garden where we spotted a hummingbird!
