Cruisin'

Here are some photos from the cruise to Alaska, there are tons so have to break it down into a couple of posts.

The first few days were spent cruising the inside passage from Vancouver. Vancouver is a really nice city, the mountains are pretty spectacular. The town in built right on them too.




We were pretty excited when we got to our room, it was like paradise after sleeping in backpackers for the last few weeks.

The inside passage is really cool, its a gap between the mainland and the islands and it goes pretty much all the way up to the coast of Canada and Alaska. Because it was all formed by Glaciers the water is really deep but the islands and mainland is all really steep, and all of the peaks are snowcapped. Its really cool to sail past and see.




The scenery was really amazing, but to be honest I think there was more whitecaps inside the boat, the average age of the cruisers was about 65. We did feel a little out of place for sure. But it was still nice and there was plenty to do and see.

Stay tuned for part 2, Ketchikan
