dolphins, hot tub, photos, Royal Caribbean Cruise, solarium, whales

got up around 8:30 and went to the solarium to watch the water and have a bite to eat… Cyndi found me and proceeded to spot a group of dolphins off the side of he ship and a whale… she has very good eyes…

we went and put a deposit on another cruise, which you can do without choosing a time or destination… we are thinking of the Caribbean down the road… I have to find a buddy to go with me…

headed back to the room to sleep as I woke up feeling like I had run into a wall… think it was the exertion of preparing and participating in the snorkelling… to explain how bad it was, I took drugs in an attempt to feel better…

slept for quite a while and then we went for lunch where Ron spotted one or two whales out the window… they were breaching but my camera was having trouble focusing so I didn’t get a picture…

went to look at all the pictures taken of us and spent ages choosing the ten we liked best…

had a lovely time in the hot tub and relaxing in the solarium…

packed up the suitcases and after supper in the Windjammer went to sit by the windows and have a last glass of wine…

I nearly know how to get everywhere and we get off the ship tomorrow morning, sigh…

gold, Juneau, salmon, whales

For some reason the time on the ship changed back an hour last night…

Cyndi and I got up very early and went on deck to watch for whales and see the sun rise amongst the mountains… gorgeous… and, we saw a whale… it was quite a ways off the side but she got a head and tail shot… then we went back to bed for a while…

had breakfast, sat in the solarium and got in a line waiting to head out into Juneau for gold panning, a salmon bake and shopping…

got on a little bus that took us out to a creek where we panned for gold… everyone found some… beautiful warm sun-shiny day, which is apparently not normal… then we headed to a salmon bake where we had salmon and baked beans, clam chowder, great hash brown casserole and fabulous lemonade… then to town to shop…

all shopped out and have a few lovely mementos of our visit to Juneau…

back on board for a nap and the dinner at Izumi (sushi), and we’ve finished off the night at a 70s dance party…
