Day 5 - Glacier Bay
First day of the cruise was all on-board, but highlighted by a tour of Glacier Bay. Bet you can't guess what's in Glacier Bay! Dang, you're smart. It was cool. And cold.
Margerie Glacier
After spending most of the afternoon outside in the cold and light rain (hey, it's Alaska) we decided to hop in the hot tub. I think that was a splendid choice. Pat and I played some chess and ping-pong, and we did some trivia, and of course ate some awesome food at dinner.
Day 6 - Haines
First day in port was in Haines, which apparently is the home of Fort Seward. Why it's not in Seward...who knows. Anyway, the weather was decent again for us (i.e. minimal rain and even some sun). We rented a couple cars and did some of our own sightseeing.
Moose!
The second half of the morning was spent at Chilkoot Lake. Some nice views and more bald eagles. No bears though :(
After lunch we split up. My car (Mom, Dad, Pat, Me) went out for a little hike in the rainforest. Yes, you read that right. Alaska has rainforests. I suppose the other car did too, just in a different spot. It was a pretty difficult, and sometimes wet/muddy trail, but it was a neat hike. I love me some hiking.
Very big plants (Devil's Club?)
That tired us out nicely, and we got some good views, a nice nature hike and saw some pretty...interesting...plants.
I can't remember if that was the first night we went up to the Crow's Nest to do a little partying.
