The Mega Drive - to Yosemite

We're currently four hours into our mammoth eight to nine hours journey and it's 9:32pm (on Wednesday 8th August). We should arrive before 1am hopefully. Earlier when driving it was 117 farenheit outside!  

We haven't really done much today and can't really work out where the time has gone. We woke up and then had breakfast at the Jean Phillipe Patisserie within the Bellagio. The variety and intricacy of food there is amazing. Em and I both went for savoury crepes with amazing fillings. They were cooked right in front of us.  After this we had to pack and check out the hotel by 11am.

Then we hit the Vegas roads, heading for the 'premium' discount malls, with the intention of getting some more running trainers.

Success, although we had to visit two different malls to find what we were after - first one seemed to be lacking.  We now both have fresh sets with zero miles on the soles. Looking forward to using them. We'll need to now and later after the quantity of food and driving this holiday!

After this and lunch we set off on the 489 mile journey to Yosemite. We've just joined highway 99 northbound and have 198miles to go. We've had dinner so apart from a relay baton swap, we'll be doing the rest in one hit.  It was great before dinner, as we were driving straight into the sunset with the top down on the Mustang - the American dream...

Hopefully there will be some kind of internet in Yosemite so we can post this!
