Skagway - start of Gold Mining in Alaska
28 Ogos 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Next stop is Skagway - population about 1000 people but 4 cruise ships together and it grows to 12,000.
We walked the historic main street and then went on a 5 hour trip that followed the path of the early gold for miners to the Yukon.
The Iditarod Musher Camp (dog sled farm) was very interesting and we really enjoyed our sled ride (even though the sled was a dune buggy!).
Then a turn at panning for gold and although we didn't strike it rich we both found some gold specks. Enough to make us happy.Baca lagi

Glacier Bay - a chance to see the snow
29 Ogos 2019 ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
A day spent cruising Glacier Bay.
The scenery was very interesting and at times it was spectacular but perhaps it was just a little short of what we were expecting.
No wild life apart from three mountain goats we couldn't see and a few seagulls.
Still no bears!
The weather was actually great and when out of the wind it was quite warm. No real need for the "snow skiing" winter clothes we had packed.Baca lagi

College Fjord - lots of Glaciers to see
30 Ogos 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
The best day in Alaska so far. Perfect weather and perfect scenery.
There were plenty of glaciers to see and different types - tidal, hanging , meringue and grounded.
They were all in retreat mode (some blame it on global warming others on global warming coupled with natural cycles). What is definitely true is that they are disappearing.
The scenery was majestic and the photos certainly do not need a caption.Baca lagi

Whittier then on to Anchorage
31 Ogos 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We left the cruise and had another boat trip - this time on a small cruiser to see Lake Portage and the Portage Glacier up close. Quite spectacular!
On the drive from Whittier to Anchorage we travelled in the longest tunnel in North America - 2.5 miles long.
Eventually our bus reached Anchorage - much bigger than we had expected - a city of 300,000 that is presented very well with lots of flowers and some pretty parks.Baca lagi

Anchorage - an exploration day
1 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
A day to explore Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.
Started with a 1 hour tour on the usual "red bus" which was quite interesting. I didn't know Captain Cook "discovered" Alaska while searching for the North West Passage.
Next a shuttle to the Ulu factory on Ship Creek. Ulu is a special type of curved knife made only here in Anchorage.
Then we visited the Anchorage Museum. A lovely building and it contains quite a few interesting exhibits.Baca lagi

The lost day
2 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Our plane to Las Vegas and the start of our Grand Canyon tour was delayed by 14 hours!
Something about it being too hot in Las Vegas for the plane to leave (unbelievable story if you ask me).
We booked a hotel for the night, flew out of. Anchorage 1 :00 the next day, collected our rental car and drove 4 hours to Flagstaff Arizona. In bed around 2:00 a.m.
A helicopter ride to look forward to in the morning.Baca lagi

The Grand Canyon (at last)
3 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
It took a little longer to get there than planned but the Grand Canyon was worth the trouble.
The day started with a wonderful helicopter flight over the Canyon. One more off the bucket list!
The pictures tell their own story - it really is an amazing sight. - a true natural wonder of the world. The Grand Canyon has an average depth of 1600 meters (or about one mile).

A great day filled with great memories!Baca lagi

Route 66 and then the Hoover Dam
4 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
A full day spent travelling from Flagstaff to Las Vegas following the iconic Route 66 much of the way.
First stop Williams, an old country town with lots of interesting memorabilia from the 60's.
Then Seligman - the "home" of Route 66. Lots of 60's stuff too and also a great lunch.
Our final stop was the Hoover Dam and it too was an enjoyable and interesting experience, but hot - 110 in the old money!
We finally arrived in Las Vegas ready for four exciting days. No rest!Baca lagi

A quick look at Las Vegas
4 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 35 °C
We've reached Las Vegas after a very interesting drive. Driving is the way to see America.
Rested up for a couple of hours and then spent three hours exploring Vegas.
We covered one block!

Day in Vegas, Cirque du Soleil at night
5 September 2019, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C
A late start today - well after 12:00 p.m. before we ventured out to face the heat.
Conquered Denis' fear of heights (well nearly) when we had a memorable ride on the High Roller Ferris Wheel. Great views!
More time spent walking the strip and just experiencing this amazing fantasy town.
The images of the Cirque du Soleil Beatles Show do not do it justice. It was incredible.Baca lagi
