We got some groceries at the lobby last night so we have cereal (non-sugary!) for breakfast and Dave decides to wipe the bike down as it is really dusty. By the time we get going it's 10am so we park the bike in the day parking take off our jackets and bike jeans and set off to find coffee ha ha!!
We find coffee and bananas and also cool patches, mine is really old school I love it. We check the map at morning tea make a plan to walk up Vernal falls. It claims on the map to be a moderate walk well if that's moderate I'd hate to see strenuous!!!! I'm glad I'm fitter than I was a year ort so ago! it would have killed me! there were people carrying full packs up there! We make it to the top and spend quite a bit of time up there looking around and taking heaps of photos. We run from the bottom bridge to the bridge at the start and realise that it's probably around parkrun time at home so dub our run Yosemite Parkrun. By the time we come down it's 2pm so a late lunch it is. We get a really yummy roll and apples for lunch.
After lunch we take a stroll up to Mirror Lake as we took the kids up there last time it's really lovely.
On the way out of the park we attempt to buy petrol but it's an unmanned station and the stupid pump won't accept our card!
We buy a long neck to share and while I am blogging gorgeous Jenny skypes me it was so good to see her and hear her voice and although she couldn't hear me she could see me. Love ya Jen.
We have a late dinner tonight and sit at the bar to be served by Kathy again and end up talking to a couple (Scott & Mardi) from Sacramento. It is Scott's first time in Yosemite and Mardi had been told by her doctor that she needed a break after a car accident she is looking at surgery on her neck. We also catch up with Mike from last night and meet a couple from Newcastle in England.
