Headed over to Yosemite Valley this morning. We quickly discovered during the short drive that we would need to start layering up again, as we headed up over 9000 ft!
A lot of the park was closed due to the icy and snowy conditions but we managed to take in some good sights during our drive, as well as stopping for a bit of amateur ice skating on the frozen lake – we weren’t the only ones skidding around in trainers, but we all felt a bit daft when a local chap skated past, doing all sorts of fancy ice skating tricks!

The drive through Yosemite National Park is a through road. What a great drive to work that would be...although, i’m not sure if you would have to pay the $20 dollars entrance fee each time. That would be annoying.
We then headed along the very twisty roads to our next stop – San Francisco. Beautiful drive through countryside’s of orchards and small farms. It was funny seeing a different backdrop, we got so used to the mountains and desert!
After sitting in a bit of a rush hour traffic jam, we eventually crossed the huge Bay Bridge and arrived in San Francisco early evening.

We quickly discovered that San Fran was not the best city for parking (and especially not for a camper!) so we decided to check into a cheap-ish hostel on the beautiful, San Fran Bay Fort Mason.
