G - Reporting
Ferry day today just a short hop up to Skagway but out 1st trip down a fjord and 1st time on the Alaska Marine Highway, so after grabbing coffin and a muffin and a sandwich for lunch in the very nice local coffee shop we made our way down to the terminal.
While we waiting we got chatting to an Australian couple in a Land Rover that we had glimpsed about a week before coming off the end of the Dempster but hadn't stopped, turns out they had been on the road for 4 years coming up from South America and going back to oz once a year for a month or two and had covered 290,000km - made our 50,000km seem short!
The trip down the fjord was nice and sunny and very pretty and before we knew it we were in Skagway, checking out hotel options we picked a B&B which was really nice and then headed out for a look around town and then down to the point at the far end of town that extends out into fjord where we spotted a whale and seals.
We finished the day with dinner and few beers in the local Brewpub.
