Yes, it's official - we've run out of superlatives. Yosemite defies description and it's all on such a huge scale that - well, words fail us.
A bit of background - we're at Yosemite Lodge at the Falls, which is a bit motel-like but perfectly comfortable (and the restaurant was brilliant last night). We drove from San Francisco, made more complicated and slightly slower than it might have been as the Bay Bridge was out of action (a cable snapped, or something - looked a bit Hollywood). Having negotiated worse-than-usual traffic in SF to reach the Golden Gate Bridge, we eventually hit the various freeways and it was nice to see that they're having the same problems with roads that we do in London....dreadful, they were.
We finally arrived slightly later than advertised yesterday and after dinner, the wine and altitude got to me...hence no blog.
However, back to normal today, and we were out nice and early to investigate the options for riding, star gazing and the like. We found to our disappointment, that all the rides were booked solid for a group of New York hoodlums and that star gazing happens on Wednesday nights - from 4.30pm.... so we're going to see if we can ride at Monument Valley.
So today, we walked a bit and then got on a bus to go to Glacier Point. We've said that words fail us in this wonderful place...so here are the pictures instead.
