YOSEMITE

Woke up at literally the crack of dawn. Its canny hard to sleep when the sun is up in these tents. Plus a woodpecker was going mental right outside so got up at 5:45am. Supprisingly so did half the camp. There are loads of school groups in our site and they are all proper hyperactive kids, running round, pretending to be Rambo or something, screaming at the top of there lungs. It must be a canny cool place to go for a school trip.

Walked some of the trails, saw mirror lake in the morning - we could only go so far up the trail as there was a rock slide in March that totally blocked the way.
In the afternoon we walked up to Yosemite falls, the highest falls in North America - there are tonnes of falls here at the moment because of the runoff from melting snow. The volume of water is incredible man, when it hits the ground it mists and foams up.

We've seen loads of squirrels and chipmonks but no bears or racoons yet. Heather says that when she came here when she was younger she saw a racoon and it was a brazon racoon swaggering round through the tents - so the hunts on for the Brazon Racoon!!.

Caught a bus to round to Yosemite village and had some food.

During the night a fella started shouting proper loud trying to scare a bear away. Shouting ' get lost bear, you're not welcome here, go away' There was no bears there he was just crying wolf or crying bear - Idiot - hope a bear gets him during the night!!
