The weather on this trip has been really magnificent with lots of sun and warmth which is totally different to when the ship was up here two weeks ago when it was mostly rain and mist.
We arrived in the is gorgeous bay surrounded by mountains and glaciers and the ship somehow for the best part of the day slowly turned on its axis and you got a different view every few minutes and with the changing light and sun moving it was a really nice time to either sit up top or on the balcony. There were trips in the ships rubber zodiac’s up in to the smaller channels where there were also glaciers which reached down to the water but the boat trips were expensive and we have done this elsewhere and so we decided to stay on board.
We spent the first part of the morning in the Observation Lounge where we updated the Blog and Photos and then spent time online to rent a car in Seward for 24 hours so that we can tour either up to Anchorage and Back or wherever we fancy at the time.Lunch in the Colonnade today was French Cuisine which means garlic and spices and risky food however we also don't want to eat to much as we have prior to the cruise both lost a little weight and we both want to keep it off which we wont do if we eat a full lunch and Dinner and so we had a sandwich and a single glass of beer.
The afternoon was spent taking photos of the changing views and sitting on the balcony relaxing and watching the day go by. For the evening dinner we decided to try the Patio and under the heaters we enjoyed some good food. And then back to the room to watch a film for the rest of the evening. The In-suite entertainment is quite good the choice of films runs in to the hundred’s and there is not way we can watch them all.Tomorrow we are due to arrive in a place called Haines where we hope to do our Wildlife Photo shoot.
NB Reminder final editing and photos to be updated mid next week once we reach dry land.
