Juneau, Alaska

Hi again! We left for the ship 2 nights and 3 days ago. We took the coach to the ferry to go back to the mainland. Hopped on the coach again to Vancouver where we had to get on our ship. We had a social gathering early evening then dinner. Had to put clocks back an hour. I made sure the balcony door was locked each night before we left ( my joke to Lorraine about pirates coming into our room😆). The room stewards get our room ready for the night and make animals out of the towels and put it on our beds, looks good. We had a rabbit one night and an elephant the next. We get a bottle of water each everyday, and laundry was free once for both of us. Day 2 on the ship we were at sea all day (can’t use wifi on boat as it is very expensive). We walked around the ship today, checked the shops, spas and pools. Went to the movies after lunch - Murder on the Orient Express. We had the first of our gala dinners, very nice. Listened to a ‘Blues’ band after dinner, and a pianist singing later. Day 3- a speed boat came up to our ship 6.30 in the morning, thought they were pirates ha ha! We found out later they were pilots getting on the ship, it was 8 degrees Celsius at 8 am. We arrived in Juneau, capital of Alaska, at 1pm and went on a walking tour of the town with Craig. Then Lorraine and I went on the tram car (like a gondola, but it can fit about 60 people on it) up Mt Roberts. Great view! They had a real bald eagle in a cage, they keep her there now as she was shot at some time and has lost sight in one eye (have the real photo in the camera). Looked at the shops of course in town. We are now sitting in the library in Juneau updating penguin, the only place we can use wifi. Going back to the ship shortly to have dinner, we leave Juneau tonight at 10pm. Love you all!
