Honeymoon Day 7 - Skagway, Alaska

We were so excited for Skagway - we had watched a little bio about the city at least twice on t.v. [hey, the channels on the ship were limited!]. We were up early and ready to get off the boat a.s.a.p. Of course, the city didn't look quite as it did on t.v., but, nonetheless, it was WAY better than Icy Straits (scroll down if you forgot about that "port").
From Skagway, we took a bus tour that took us deep into Alaska (so deep, in fact, that we ended up in Canada . . .). The tour was great!! We saw such beautiful scenery, and got a few great photos, too. The only downside was the large number of mosquitos we encountered along the way . . . .



After a long day touring the Alaskan wilderness, we headed back to the ship to find a pretty cool surprise waiting for us in our stateroom . . . .
We spent the rest of the evenings watching the scenery from our balcony as we made our way to Juneau . . . .
