24 July - Sunday - Cruise Day 2 - Alaska Inside Passage

G'day All,
A day to work out what we would be doing after arrival at 12:30 pm tomorrow in Juneau, I had pre-booked an afternoon trip on a "Whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier photo safari" so planning was more about what shops to check out following the side trip as we weren't scheduled to leave Juneau until 9:30 pm. We attended a "what's what" of shopping presentation, all about free gifts and the "exciting" shopping opportunities on offer at each of the destinations. You all know the drill, "You'll only find this here", "an opportunity only available to cruise patrons" etc . . . Needless to say the "opportunities" required some very healthy bank balances. Our plan . . . attack the stores with the free vouchers and make off with all the "made in China" freebies we can :-) if there wasn't a memento we had in mind available. The weather is looking like it is closing in and it could be a wet day tomorrow. Clocks set back an hour as we crossed into yet another time zone.
What else do you do on a cruise, eat of course. . . he meals as always are great and any weight lost with all the hiking I fear is gong to be replaced :-)
A nice merlot

Food glorious food. . .
Little did we know this was the last of the blue sky to be seen for quite a few days.

The weather closes in...

Trying to get an early night for the big day tomorrow.

Cheers
Gary and Penny
