Today we left our quiet retreat in Carmel. Time for a final shot of us on the balcony with the Pacific just visible behind us and a few pics along the Scenic Drive (yes the road is actually called that) running alongside the beach.

En route to Yosemite we came across the fascinating and huge San Louis Reservoir and spent a while in the visitor centre.

The temperature since leaving the coast is now a smouldering 110F, 105F in the shade, help! Car has air-con so no worries.

After A Taco Bell ‘comfort food’ break in Holliser we finally entered the outskirts of the park for our one-night stay at ‘Yosemite View’. The scenery is already looking promising, we’re excited about our Yosemite visit!

Goodbye to Carmel.
