Day 22 (31st August) Juneau As we ate our breakfast this morning we were sailing through the narrows towards Juneau. Docking time was 9.30am with disembarkation to explore being around 10.00am. This allowed us to fit in yet another Digital Workshop. KC, the instructor, is very friendly and offers great lessons. This morning's lesson was on Cortana. This is Microsoft's version of Siri. Originally designed for the Microsoft phone it has been further develo...

Day 21 (30th August) Ketchikan The alarm went off at 6.30am as we wanted to be up ready for when we docked at 7.00am. Problem was the digital clocks in our phones had not updated as should have happened. So it was actually 5.30am. Vince got up, showered and went for a walk. Margaret stayed in bed but did not really go back to sleep. We ate breakfast at 7.00am looking down on Ketchikan's Front Street in overcast intermittent showery weather. We firstly we...

Day 20 ( 29th August) We woke to found the ship with a slight side to side roll. This was obviously preferable to up and down as Vince was able to eat breakfast and keep it down. As this was a day of sailing we had a leisurely breakfast then went for a walk around the deck (4 laps around the lower promenade deck = 1 mile). Whilst walking we saw some whales in the distance and also some dolphins/porpoise swimming beside the ship. We then attended a ta...

Day 19 (28th August) - THE CRUISE. We awoke to an overcast slightly cooler morning. Whilst walking up to the bus stop there was a fine misty rain. Just before the bus arrived a taxi pulled up and asked if we wanted a ride? As the price was reasonable and it would mean we did not have to risk a walk from the bus to the cruise terminal in possible rain we accepted the ride. We arrived at Canada Place (cruise terminal) at 9.50am. We had received an email adv...

Day 18 A slow unhurried start to the day. We were heading for Kitsalano Beach and decided we would first walk to Queen Elizabeth Park about 10 minutes away. Passing a golf course in one corner of the park we headed up the hill (so much for leaving those behind in the Rockies!) into the park. At the high point there was a restaurant with great views out to the city and North Vancouver. The restaurant also looks down on what is called the small quarry garden ...
