Princess Cruise - Skagway

Going on a cruise is very bad for the weight, I am sure both of us have stacked on the weight. I have been cutting back on the food but oh he with the sweet tooth can't resist the sweets.

There is soooo much entertainment, we have seen a magician, he was great and tonight we are going to a singing and dancing show.  We also had a talk from the 1st woman to win the husky race back when. She took us through what her and the dogs had to persevere to get to the finish line. It is really very amazing.

We have docked in a number of small towns now and have done a few tours to get to know each place.

We went on a restored 1927 bus today and did a tour of the town and residential area. The conductor was very entertaining. He came to Alaska from England in 1995 and loved it so much he ended up staying. If there was not tourism in these small towns they would not survive. Today there are 4 ships docked and we are told ships come in every day until the end of summer.

As much as possible we try to go off the beaten track and find little cafe's that the locals use and we have come across some nice ones. Tomorrow we start cruising along side the glaciers. I wonder how big they will be.

Travelling must have caught up with me yesterday, I slept solid for about 12 hours, but I felt great when I finally got up.
