Haines to Skagway

I had the luxury of coffee in bed this morning before packing up and catching our ‘taxi’, aka random lady that agreed to pick us up, to the ferry terminal. It was still pretty windy so we weren’t sure if it would turn up so there was a cheer when it appeared in the distance.

After the shell shocked cruise day trippers got off we went aboard, all 3 of us. Obviously not busy in this direction but full the other way. Around 10 am we docked in Skagway and our transfer was waiting for us. He drove us the short distance to the Westmark Hotel where every cruise boat passenger was trying to check in or out. We navigated around them and left our bags. We wandered around and had a coffee and booked a bank breaking trip for Tuesday.

We wandered around some more, found the supermarket and popped into a few shops. The wind was strong and cold so we went to the Red Onion for lunch. It was surprisingly tasty.

After lunch we returned to the hotel and checked in. In the room we did a few jobs and had some coffee. We then went out to get some food for an in room dinner.Read more
