30th July 2011: Headed up to Yosemite and arrived around midday. Decided to do the Glacial Point route as we would have little chance parking at the village. Fabulous views, this is a park that does not disappoint!
We stayed at the Narrow Gauge Inn. The rooms didn't look like they had been updated since the 70's except for a flat screen tv. You also had to pay for wifi.... Really, pay for wifi!
The Inn has the premier dining spot in the area. It does have table clothes and metal cutlery and that's about all I want to say about that. The barman, however, was a delightful chap called Shane. An excellent host who took the time to collate a bourbon tasting list and made a very decent Cosmopolitan for Kath.

31st July 2011: Drove the hour and ten minutes to Yosemite Village. Used the shuttle bus network to get to Vernal Falls.... Very nice, same about the number of people. Started peeing it down so went back to car... Bit of a snooze then off to Yosemite Falls followed by Mirror Lake. Very nice, but..... People have no idea how annoying they are. You spend time trying to get the perfect reflection shot and them some lovely individual decides to go paddling right through your shot...
Another interesting dining experience followed by a very enjoyable session in the bar with a local couple. He was a retired naval officer and she enjoyed going to see Dancing with the Stars.
