Day 26 1/2 - Yellowstone

Unlike our stay in Yosemite we'd opted for a proper hotel room this time. We were staying at the Mammoth Hot Springs hotel, a grand building situated in a shallow valley close to the hot springs after which it is named. Our room was fairly basic and didn't look like it had changed much since the hotel was built in the late nineteenth century. The bathroom was just along the corridor and equally basic, but at least we wouldn't have to risk meeting a bear in the night if we needed the loo.

After a delicious meal at the one and only restaurant in Mammoth the combination of a 10 hour drive, a full stomach and perhaps a little wine proved too much for us and we collapsed into bed, looking forward to a solid day of sightseeing tomorrow.
