Victoria, Canada and Seattle, Washington. July 28 -29th Day 7 & 8

Friday was really a day at sea. 
We didn't arrive in Victoria until about 9pm.
We didn't go ashore.

We did enjoy some ice carving.





We watched the finale of Voice of the ocean.
We even got to vote for our favorite.


Can you spot the Orca?
If you look carefully you can see some of the black and white on his back.

We got to Seattle port Saturday morning and disembarked and flew home.
What an adventure!

Ketchikan, Alaska Day 6. Totem Bight State Park and Ketchikan Highlights

Our guide talking about the totems and the slug.










In the gift shop.










Most of homes in this town are only accessible by stairs.
There are some roads now but mostly you have to walk up stairs to get home.





We enjoyed watching the docking and undocking of the cruise ship.

 

Glacier Bay National Park (Scenic cruising), Alaska. July 26th. Day 5

This post is a big photo dump.
I loved seeing everything here and couldn't stop taking pictures.
So here are a few.

Cruising into Glacier Bay


This was the only day it was cloudy, windy and cold.
The crew handed out blankets if you needed one.
Allan tied it around me so I could still take pictures.


Lamplugh Glacier







Sea Otters


Mendenhall Glacier














We did see some calving of the glacier but were hoping that the crack you see in the middle of picture would drop but it didn't while we were there.
