Today we landed in Juneau. Our excursion was at 10:35a and our first stop was the salmon hatchery. We saw the salmon ladder and the container with lots and lots of little salmon.
Our next stop was the Mendenhall Glacier. What a sight and seeing the blue color off the glacier. We only had an hour and 15 minutes there so we had to hike fast one mile to the Nugget Falls and a closer look at the glacier. It was amazing to see in person.
The last and final stop was at the man made Glacier Gardens which is still owned by the guy who created it. He also uses dead trees to create his upside down trees.
The tour bus dropped us off downtown if we wanted or to the ship. We got off downtown and walked around the shops. DD got a nice Alaska hat. I was looking for a cool looking thimble like I found in Katchikan. But did not find one. I did find a cool looking four dollar t-shirt.
Then the walk back to the ship. There are 5 ports and our ship ends up at the farthest port. A mile away from downtown. Finally on the ship and tired we ate at the buffet. Then watched the the scenery as the ship left the dock in the rain.
