Sitka Harbor

We joined a local tour to visit Sitka in Alaska, but we did not expect to take a tender boat in this port though. We left our room at 8:45am and we got priority to take the tender boat (first boat available for us) and we arrived the pier at 9:20am. I was very lost and didn’t know where to go. Fortunately, the tour guide called me at 9:28am and gave me direction. We were 5 minutes late and arrived at 9:35am.

We first got onto a comfortably air-conditioned bus. We made a couple stop. First, we went to the Silver Bay and saw the beautiful shoreline. Second, we looked at the special plants, natural environment and the totem pole at the National Historical Park. We then visited the Alaska Raptor Centre. Finally, we visited the Fortress of Bear. Symeon was happy to see the wildlife animal at each of these location.

The tour finished before lunch and we went to a restaurant call “Coldwater” for lunch. We ordered an Alaska King Crab leg to share. It was way bigger and fresher than the ones in Vancouver and Japan; but they were not cheap! It worths for a taste though!

After lunch, we looked at some souvenir stores, then it started raining hard and we went back to our cruise ship by tender boat!

We were soaking wet after we got back to our room. After I settle everything, then I went to the hot pool in the spa to soak in hot water to prevent getting sick again!Leia mais
