Seward

Seward is a beautiful little seaside town about 4 hours by train from Anchorage. It is unique because it not only has the sea but is also surrounded by mountains. Travelling to Seward we saw a little baby moose. Ever so cute

The town people are very laid back and as is every Alaskan we have come across very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

                                             

The best and most well known attraction here is the aquarium . Prior to the oil spill in 1989 there was no facility to assist/rescue marine a animals. When the oil spill occurred it was obvious something was urgently needed. The town applied for and received a grant and the rest is history. 

I saw fish that only a mother could love and some beautiful Alaskan birds. These birds fly under water, yes I said fly, I saw it with my own eyes. Greg and I did a behind the scenes tour to learn about Puffin birds which included going into their enclosure and feeding them.
