Day 4 - Left San Francisco for Yosemite which was a long, long drive…..but worth it……Yosemite is an incredible place.  I stayed at the Yosemite View Lodge with a room with an awsum view over the Merced River.  Not seen any bears yet - thank goodness!!!  BAD NEWS THO - NO INTERNET !!! OMG THAT MEANS NO CP FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS

Day 5 - Went into Yosemite National Park which must be one of the most beautiful places in the world, everywhere you turn there is something spectacular to look at.  My favourite sights were the waterfalls which were incredible.   Went to Badger Pass which is a ski resort and saw plenty of snow so i felt right at home!!!   YAY!!!!  Didn’t do any snow sports but did do a bit of hiking and GUESS WHAT!?!?!……I found me a friend - a stray  green puffle which i have now adopted and have called Paddy (in honor of the recent st patricks day party on CP).

     

Bridalveil Falls                                     Meet Paddy!!!

Day 6 - went to the Pioneer Yosemite History Center which was a bit of a yawn…..followed by a long uphill hike to the giant redwood trees at Mariposa Grove - WOAH those trees are gigantic!!!!   The trek back downhill wasn’t so bad and i got chance to rest on the journey to Fresno Airport from where i got a flight to Las Vegas - WOO HOO!!!!   Am staying in the New York New York Hotel which has a roller coaster right outside which you can see from my room - gonna make sure to take a ride on that tomorrow!!!
