quick update!
So yesterday we checked out of our hotel in San Fran, did our washing at the laundromat then went to pick up the car. They only needed the paper part of our license so all of our worrying was irrelevant!
I was absolutely terrified about following a map and not using a sat nav but we did it!!! And we didn't get lost. The ride was amazing with beautiful views and we got to Yosemite in about 4 hours. Problem was, there was nowhere to stay! We arrived on driving and there was nothing but open road for miles. George started to panicked, it started to get dark and our petrol was running out!
We eventually found a motel at around half 9 and both crashed out. This morning we got up early and used the free WiFi to sort out a plan for the day. Right now I'm sitting by the pool in 30 degree heat with a gorgeous view of Yosemite behind me. We have a motel booked in a place called bishop for tonight which is the other side of the national park so we're going to go back through Yosemite and spend the day there then head to the motel. Better watch out for bears and mountain lions!!

Dad Does Yogi Bear live there ?
Claire (Clifford) Loving reading your blog, it makes me a bit teary when i read it, must be my hormones!! Youve got a lovely way of writing, you should publish it when youre back! I didnt like san francisco either, the tramps & transvestites scared me a lot, but the sites make up for it. Keep up the blog, it will be amazing for you to look back on. Take care. xx
Kelly Dad - yogi bear lives in Yellowstone! Claire - thank you xxx I'm really enjoying writing it as I'm still waking up early. Not sure if its still jet lag or just that I'm excited about the day! So while I wait for George to get up it gives me something to do! I've made lots of mistakes on this one though as the sun was shining and I couldn't really see the kindle! I hope Effie's christening went well. The pics look gorge xxx
Matt and Laura I am sooooo proud (and also very shocked!) that you managed to cope without a sat nav and didnt get lost!!!! No excuses for not knowing where youre going when you get home! Be careful of those bears - they may look cuddly but theyre not like winnie the pooh! Love keeping up with what ur doing xxx
