Saturday 5th June – Golden Haven Spa

Calistoga to Modesto

Slept in (Lewis needed it) then tried to organize accommodation in Yosemite but had internet issues and had to check out then my computer battery died in my computer – all with min having no food… not good! So we decided that we would find accommodation the old fashion way – turn up in the area and then just see….Grabbed some food from the local super market, Lewis got a “bun” that turned out to be a cold potato stuffed with meat, cheese etc.. funny! Not really what Lewis was expecting to eat but did the spot. Then headed off to Modesto. Passed a massive wind farm - probably had 400ish turbines super impressive. (stopped at MacDonald's on the way to try and use their free Wi-Fi which of course for whatever reason was not working Grrr) got into Modesto and had absolutely no idea where the main street was or anything, managed to fluke a main street and asked at a “gas station” and we were only few blocks away (nothing special but somewhere to sleep) still had no place to stay in Yosemite so as wi-fi was not working at the hotel (for whatever reason) we headed into the town to find a Starbucks or similar found one but apparently to have access to the free wi-fi you have to have a card and buy 5 things on this card and etc etc the dude was embarrassed to tell us but also mentioned that there was a pizza shop around the corner with free wi-fi so we ordered a pizza and booked accommodation (pizza was nice) and rang mum. So we will be off early to Yosemite yay!
