Ketchikan- Canoes and Jeeps

Ketchikan is a really attractive frontier town , steeped in the history of the first settlers here, who were gold prospectors. 





We didn't have much time before we were whisked off for a canoe trip and Jeep drive in the outback.

The paddle across the lake wasn't very exciting, but afterwards we were given the chance to drive jeeps through some very rough terrain on rocky and very bumpy tracks. An experience neither of us would want to do again. It was Extreme, but rewarded with a nice view at the top.

Final day at sea

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.

Up Close and Personal with a glacier

 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.

Last day of the whole trip- and my 3 months of travelling

Image
 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
