I decided (and indeed had been advised by the Park Rangers) to have a restful day on Saturday, and that’s just what I did. In the luxurious grounds of the Majestic Hotel, our second hotel because we couldn't book all nights at the same hotel. I enjoyed a relaxing day at the pool. The setting is magnificent; the hotel is surrounded by trees, beyond which are the towering mountains and cliffs of the Yosemite Valley. The swimming pool is circular and situated right beside the bar where we could order cool drinks. Meanwhile James, Jamie and Margaret went for a walk to Mirror Lake for a couple of hours. When they returned, we all had lunch together outside the bar, overlooking the lovely green lawns.
In the afternoon James and Jamie set off for another short walk to Yosemite Falls while the rest of us chilled out and chatted at the pool. Then we all took turns having showers in James’ and my room. Later on we had dinner at the Majestic Hotel’s iconic Restaurant which was a very lively and enjoyable occasion. Sadly we then had to say goodbye to Margaret because she was heading home the next morning. Jamie, Aisling and Margaret drove off into the dark towards Big Trees Lodge, leaving only a pair of pants * in the shower to remember them by.
* the pants belonged to Jamie!
