Turfed out of the villa; flight at 5pm. How to fill the day? ... A Whale Watching boat trip of course! Several pods of pilot whales spotted, swimming right next to the boat!
Weather wise, a perfect day to spend at sea- hot sunshine, so most people were on deck. I think I might have annoyed some people as I ran rond the running track 30 times. The running track was bordered by a lot of sun loungers! At the end of the day, on our approach to Vancouver, we sailed through some really pretty fjords.
Day 3 took us (almost) to the face of Hubbard Glacier. The blue colours of the ice are beautiful and inspiring. The ship stayed quite close (0.5kmaway) for about 2 hours enabling lots of photos to be taken . Here are just a a few. We saw a huge chunk fall off the front of it. Our friend caught it on video: It really is awesome to be this near to a glacier and to see it in action.
Our last day in Vancouver was spent on a really great trip to Squamish, where there some more waterfalls, and the "Sea to Sky Gondola", taking us 1000 metres above the inlet for some great views. ... at that ended our epic trip to Canada and Alaska. Exhausted , but happy that we'd seem so much in such a short time. I think a summer break from travels is needed now... Signing off until the next epic trip (all will be revealed when I next see you). Rob
