This morning we woke early again to take a boat tour of
Resurrection Bay here in Seward. The
town of Seward is quite small with two area of business. The one area is full of restaurants and
stores while the other part is near the harbour. It took Barb and I about 5 minutes to walk
from one end to the other.
Our land tour has only 18 people and this morning, we had
the entire boat to ourselves. It was
wonderful to be able to move anywhere we wanted without being overcrowded.
Moving out of the harbour, we spotted one of many sea
otters. What a life, floating on your
back and watching the world go by.
We saw the many glaciers and a couple of icebergs; however,
we were not able to get very close to them.
Puffins and other sea birds were spotted and we also saw
some Bald Eagles, but were unable to capture them on our camera.
We went past a few sea lions sitting up on a rock and the
big one gave out a roar as we passed. Finally,
we found the blow of a whale out in the distance and tracked him down to get a
few pictures. Our captain said it was
the first whale he had seen in over a week.
Again we have been lucky.
We are now on our cruise ship, the internet is costly on
this boat so our posts may be less frequent, but we will record our days and
update when we can. These cruise ships
are wonderful, so fancy with many places to explore. Our first stop, where
else, the bar!! We want to send a special thank you to our travel agent back
home in Bowmanville, who ordered a lovely bottle of wine for us that was set up
in our room when we arrived. We share a
drink with you in our thoughts Louise.
We have a set seat in the dining room for dinner, the food
is amazing and we are sitting with two very nice couples from South Carolina.
Dinners should be great fun with these people. Here are just a few pictures
from inside the ship that we will call home for the next seven days.
Tomorrow we stay on the ship all day but we will be sailing
near the Hubbard Glacier. The views and pictures should be spectacular.
