Ketchikan

Arrived here 10 am. Went on a walking tour with Craig, then did our own thing. A beautiful little town. We looked at the shops in Creek Street, (built on piers) which used to be the red light district. Here’s a picture of a brothel that used to be called Dolly’s, who was the Madam. After a quick lunch we went on Ketchikan’s Cultural Discovery tour, we saw original totem poles. Totem poles decompose from the inside out so they don’t last forever. Went to Potlatch Park, home to antique cars, more totem poles and a carving centre, and a fully re-created native Alaskan village. A gift shop, of course, and a gun museum. After dinner we watched our pianists again and at 9.45 pm waiters came around with chocolate treats, yum! The next day we’re at sea again all day making our way back to Vancouver. We had a farewell cocktail at 3pm with our group. When it is foggy, the ships fog horn goes off every few minutes. In Skagway I lost my sunglasses, went into the library with them came out without them! We saw a bear in the distance on the beach from the ship along the way somewhere, woo hoo! Well now Lorraine and I are going for a walk in Vancouver. Our flight leaves late tonight, so we have time to do that. Till next time, love you all! 😘😘😘Read more
