Driving to Juneau?


Well this is different. Someone else is driving. We got on the ferry from Skagway to Prince Rupert this morning. Instead of 3-4 days of driving we are spending 40+ hours on the ferry travelling down the Alaska coast. It gives us a different view of things. Kind of like an Alaskan cruise but the tour busses don't meet us at the docks and the word is the taxis charge a chunk of change to go into town.

We are in Juneau right now and we are here for 5 hours so we are sitting in the trailer working of different things keeping the dogs company as they are not allowed upstairs and we are not allowed downstairs when the boat is in motion.

The skies are cloudy so the pictures are not as spectacular as they could be. The first call for a sighting of whales came during dinner. Because there had not been any calls I had left the camera in the stateroom so I missed the Killer whale. The next call came a few minutes later and I got the camera and put my "new" long lens on (400mm). I got this picture of the Humpback whales feeding.
