Indian River Valley

Today we anchored in the small town of Sitka, which has a very eclectic blend of native Alaskan, Russian and American culture. The small port town was charming and picturesque. Before our last tour excursion we hiked on our own through the Sitka National Historical Park and then to the Alaska Raptor Center. Where we saw a live demonstration with a bald eagle up close. She was massive and majestic at the same time. We made out way back to the pier just in time for our Sea Otter and Wildlife Cruise. We saw more whales, sea lions, and sea otters on the cruise. We also saw so many bald eagles flying around, they were like pigeons! Once again the weather was cooperating and we had another sunny day. Back on board we had a private cocktail hour and dinner with our tour group on the pool deck. While they provided heaters and blankets, it got very chilly by the end and most people passed on the Baked Alaskan desert. Not me though, I powered through the ice cream!Baca lagi
