A much warmer night with a blanket inside the sleeping bag. We used the propane fire to toast some bagels for breakfast before packing up the tent.

We got a taxi to the airport hotel where they let us check in early (probably to get rid of all our luggage). We then caught the bus into Juneau and spent some time in the museum. There were some interesting videos on how native Alaskans used marine mammal intestines to make waterproof clothing and some of these clothes on display.

Once the museum became overrun with tour groups we walked into the city and found lunch’s I had some tasty rockfish tacos.

We then walked along the front for a bit but it started raining so we caught the bus back to the hotel.

After a little afternoon nap we went through all the luggage to prepare for flying tomorrow - liquids and knives etc.

For dinner we had Dominoes pizza and watched Harry Potter on TV.Okumaya devam et

What else is there to say?
Went on a trip specifically to see whales and was not disappointed.
Abbey was our guide and seemed to be more excited than anyone else in the boat.
Along with a feeding Humpback we also spotted Orcas in the distance.
Back on shore we wandered around Juneau (which is not very big) and were surprised
to discover an unprecedented amount of Diamond stores, all family owned of course!Okumaya devam et

Today we went ashore without a booked excursions but when we arrived in town we booked whale watching for the afternoon. We looked around the town, which had 4 cruise ships in port! It was built on cruise tourism and mum and Alex bought some souvenirs. In the afternoon we boarded the bus to go whale watching. On the way out we stopped at the Mendenhall Glacier which can be seen from many vantage points around town. We were also super lucky and saw a black bear with her two cubs.

Once we got to the marina, we boarded our boat and headed out to see the whales. It wasn’t long until we spotted plenty of humpbacks. The highlight was our first stop, where we saw 10-15 whales bubble netting. This phenomenon only happens in Juneau and only for a few weeks of the year. The whales catch their fish by creating a spiral of bubbles while the leader approaches from below and scoops up the fish. Our second stop was to watch a few more whales feeding and diving. This group got quite close to our boat! Unfortunately it was difficult to photograph the bubble netting to accurately depict its awesomeness!Okumaya devam et

Ruhetag in Juneau
28 Ağustos 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Heute war ein Ruhetag.
Habe Juneau zu Fuss erkundet, kreuz und quer, rauf und runter. Es ist mir zu touristisch, hinter der Fassade hat es viele heruntergekommene Geschäfte und Häuser. Aber am Hügel hat es auch schöne Quartiere.
Hatte gute Fisch-Tacos zum Znacht, aber gegessen wie ein Schwein. 🤣Okumaya devam et

Day 2 Cruising
8 Eylül 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
I feel like I’ve been onboard forever. I am so at home here! What a fun sea day. Up to see the sun rise over the inside passage, breakfast in our room, arts cafe for coffee, looked at the shops, observation deck for viewing, line dancing and it’s only 12pm. Lunch at La Crappza as Royce calls it, was magnificent. Seafood, sushi delicious wines, the food quality is wonderful. Hot tub time at the back of the ship watching orcas spouting in the distance. Royce to the black Jack tournament and I fall asleep in a deck chair prepared by the pool attendant. The fabulous thing about small ship cruising with silversea is there are no crowds, no fighting for a space to sit or to get a waiters attention. The service is amazing. There are 420 passengers and 411 crew so it’s a 1-1 ratio of guest to crew. We drag Mike and Kay chee to trivia and we come 3rd and Mike and Kay Chee find a perfect Pisco Sour - a drink they discovered on their Antarctica cruise. We meet the captain at a reception and head to the grill for hot rocks dinner. Salmon and prawns and it’s another wonderful meal followed by piano man in the Dolce Vita and I fulfill a lifelong dream of being an entertainer on a cruise ship when I am asked to play the tambourine to dancing queen. Cruise dreams do come true.
We come back to our beautifully made room to find Silversea backpacks prepared by the butler for our excursion tomorrow- good lord!Okumaya devam et

Sunshine and whales
10 Eylül 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Another glorious day in Juneau. Can’t believe the weather. Sparkly sunshiny Alaska. Breakfast at La Terrazza watching the Norwegian Sun already docked and the Celebrity Millennium follow us in to dock. Our excursion is one of the best we’ve ever done. A photographer is in charge and she is amazing. First stop whales via a workshop on how to use a smartphone. It’s a special photography vessel and there are only 10 of us.
It’s calm and blue sky and sparkly with a thin cloud of mist at sea level. We see so many whales and we see the rare bubble feeding, hear trumpeting and whale tails. It’s a magical experience and st one stage when I spot a whale near the mist that glints silver in the sun I cry. It’s so beautiful.
We head to the Tongras National park for a hike to Mendenhall glacier. We learn more about photo tricks along the way and look at composition and lots of fungi. It’s spectacular. I’m starting to run out of superlatives.
To the ship for pizza and rose wine, caviar and champagne in the room and get ready for more food. Dinner at Indochine is amazing - seafood Tom yum and lobster tail and snow crab! Mike is feeling a bit under the weather but we all enjoyed the dinner and the atmosphere- it’s a beautiful restaurant. We decide to have an early night with hot chocolate and Kahlua for a night cap. A great day!Okumaya devam et

Auf nach Juneau
21 Eylül 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
Umgeben von felsigen Bergen im Osten und dem Pazifischen Ozean im Westen, ist die im äußersten Süden von Alaska gelegene Stadt Juneau nicht mit dem Auto, sondern ausschließlich mit der Fähre oder dem Flugzeug erreichbar. Von Skagway sind wir mit der Fähre die berühmte Inside-Passage gefahren.
Als eine der ältesten Städte des Bundesstaates, wurde Juneau nach dem Fund der ersten Goldnuggets durch Joe Juneau und Richard Harris im Jahr 1898 gegründet. Im Jahr 1900 zur territorialen Hauptstadt ernannt, wurden alle Regierungsfunktionen im Jahr 1906 nach Juneau verlegt. Bis heute ist Juneau mit 32.000 Einwohnern die Hauptstadt Alaskas.Okumaya devam et

Day 6 - Juneau
21 Eylül 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Whale watching boat trip in Juneau today 🐳. Lovely rainy day so we bundled up in waterproof jackets with our thermals underneath and headed off the ship. Entertaining bus driver to take us to the boat - a middle aged lady from California who said she comes to Alaska every season to do this job and has done for 19 years. Doesn't see her husband from May to October each year, maybe that's the secret to a happy marriage 🤔🤣.
We did see about 3 humpback whales and a colony of sea lions but got very wet trying to take pics of whales who appear on the surface for about 2 seconds.
The onboard naturalist was informative and we learned a lot about whales, which was interesting. Each whale has unique markings on its tail (or fluke) a bit like our fingerprints, so they can all be identified. They eat all summer in places like Alaska to build up blubber and then migrate to warmer places like Hawaii for the winter when they don't eat at all for a few months. Apparently most whales don't have teeth, but they have baleen plates which filter out the small fish (eg crill) as their throats are only the size of a grapefruit and they can't swallow large things. Fact of the day: if you end up in the mouth of one of these whales, don't worry, you'd be spat out again because you're too big to go down the throat ☺️.
We were back on the ship about 4.30 so had a much needed drink to warm up and had a chat to a couple next to us about the Rockies. Mark went off for his acupuncture which he thinks helped ease his back a bit. May need more sessions once we're home....not at cruise prices hopefully!!
Lovely dinner. The food onboard is very good and all the staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. Can't fault the service at all.Okumaya devam et

Juneau
13 Eylül 2023, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
Juneau, capitale dell’Alaska. Peggy, la nostra guida, ci ha raccontato che Juneau è stata scelta e mantenuta come capitale perché proprio qui nel 1880 hanno trovato la prima pepita d’oro. Probabilmente è proprio per questo che l’intera Franklin St. è piena zeppa di negozi di gioielli, tanto luccicanti da “cavarte i oci”, come dice Santo. La nostra prima fermata è stata a circa 30 minuti dalla Down Town al Visitor Centre del Mendenhall Glacier. Con una breve passeggiata di qualche minuto siamo arrivati ad un ottimo point view. Poco lontano abbiamo preso il Nugget falls creek, un breve sentiero di 0,5 miglia che conduceva ad una fantastica cascata vista ghiacciaio. Poco distante c’era anche il Salmon Creek che noi abbiamo percorso per qualche metro giusto per vedere dei grossi salmoni nel fiume. Numerosi erano i cartelli che indicavano la presenza di orsi neri. In questa zona possiamo trovare due tipologie di alberi: sicksprouse e hamlock. Seconda tappa del nostro tour è la cena al “Salmon Bake”, un posticino carino nascosto in mezzo al bosco di conifere, a sinistra della statale. Qui ci attendeva un ricco buffet con zuppa di pesce, salmone alla piastra condito con dell’ottima musica country che ci ha allietato fino all’assaggio di una morbida quanto speciale blueberry cake.
Uno shuttle ci ha portati alla Down Town dove abbiamo passeggiato per la via centrale sotto ad una piacevole pioggia. La nostra visita si è snodata tra i piccoli negozi della via centrale e un flight of four all’Alaska Brewing and Co.Okumaya devam et

North to Akaska
13 Eylül 2019, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
The internet is very hit and miss so we can only cross our fingers that the posts update properly.

It’s very quiet onboard, I’m told there’s only 1,300 people aboard, capacity for the ship is 1,432. It’s a small cruise ship compared to the others.

We’re due to dock in Juneau early this afternoon. We’ll take a wander around then we’re booked in for the Salmon Bake @ 5pm. All you can eat Salmon, Lachlan’s very excited.

But before all the lovely Salmon we listen to the cruise director talk about Skagway History - Dreamers, Schemers & Stampeders. Facinating history this little state has. I love they way they refer to the other US states as “the lower 48”.

We’ve had a light lunch and decide to disembark the Ship....WOW, it’s raining bears & moose’s- we wait 20 minutes and it’s clear enough to venture out. Mums all dressed up like red riding hood.
It’s worse than Melbourne - almost terrestrial rain then it stops for 5 minutes then down it comes again with gusty winds too boot.....
We do a little souvenir shopping then decide this is crazy & head back to the ship.Okumaya devam et

Gezgin Wow memories of raining bears and moose! That’s pretty amazing. ( And we don’t have that in Melbourne!)
