The Tour That Wasn't

Today, I was supposed to go on a tour, but I woke up feeling unwell. It is raining again, and I didn't think a 1.5-mile hike through the nature preserve was a good idea. I have some breakfast and then head back to rest.

I did make it off shore around noon. It was still raining, but a tourist must prevail!

Ketchikan is an island. The airport is on a separate island. So, if you come in by plane you have to catch a ferry to the other island. Therefore, everything here has been brought in by boat or plane. If you want to take your car off the island, it is a 1.5 day ferry ride to Juneau or 2.5 day ferry to Washington state.

I spent a couple of hours walking the streets of Ketchikan and got some good pictures. I also found a drugstore to get some cough drops. Hopefully, they will make a difference.

Dinner tonight is at another specialty restaurant named Cagney's. It is the steak house for Norwegian. I have a cruise credit, so it costs me nothing. I start with the Lobster Bisque, then an entree of petite filet mignon with a baked potato and broccoli. This is the first time I have seen a baked potato at any of the meal options. I know where to come for my potato fix! Desert is a 7-layer chocolate cake that melts in your mouth. Yes, I have pictures of all.

Tomorrow is a sea day as we head back to Vancouver. That means I am drawing to a close of my vacation.もっと詳しく
