SFO to Curry Village, Yosemite

After not a lot of sleep, we got up and made our breakfast before showering and packing up the bags. We went to leave a suitcase with the hotel only for them to tell us we couldn’t. Never mind, stuck with an extra suitcase for 2 weeks!

We made our way to the car rental centre and joined the inevitable line. After about a 30 minute wait we got the car - a mini of all things - and headed towards Dublin , CA. Why Dublin? The only REI between San Francisco and Yosemite 😂. We spent a few hours around REI and, conveniently, the Safeway next door getting some supplies for the next week. Once we had everything we thought we needed we set off again and stopped for some lunch at Priest Station.

We then drove the rest of the way to Curry Village and checked in to our tent for the week. We sorted all our stuff so that food and scented items were in the bear box (and we had a lot of things) and just had our clothes in the tent.

As we settled in we made some couscous salad for dinner and got ready for a big day tomorrow.Read more
