After brunch we played our 19 holes of crazy golf - somewhat of a holiday tradition for Emily and I to play a round. This was great, although sweaty work as it's so hot. We rewarded ourselves afterwards with a decadent ice cream each from the Coldstone Creamery (incidentally, my predictive text just wanted to change that to Colostomy Creamery - sick). We noticed that some of the ice creams in this place top 2000 calories! Not exactly 8% material.
We wandered for a while looking round some cowboy style shops and some more regular ones, before having to shelter suddenly for the torrential rain. Reminded us of Florida.

We're now at the Stateline Brewery & Restaurant after swimming 50 lengths in the pool back at the motel - got to burn off the American meals and ice cream somehow.
The restaurant is on the California/Nevada stateline (surprise!) and they have English style beers brewed here which is a big thing to them. The one I ordered is called Arrogant Bastard and is over 8%bv. Emily has ordered a Tahoe Tini - a cocktail.

Things have got rowdy here, not in a bad way though. There is a loud table of fourteen guys two tables away from us - they just decided who pays by pulling cards out of a hat. The last guy had to pay for all fourteen of them! Rather them than us.
We're fed and watered now and heading back to the motel to watch a movie on cable.

Tomorrow, we leave, bound for San Fran. We stop en route for the Jelly Belly Factory and the Budweiser Brewery. It's about a four hour drive in total.
