Last day at sea 5/8/10(Thursday)

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of blog & photos.

It is very frustrating & expensive with unreliable computers & satellite & no usb ports available.

Since the rafting day we have travelled further south in Alaska by train, coach & cruise boat & we have seen some magnificent sights & animals.

Photos to follow asap.

We have been very close to the Hubbard Glacier if you google you will see what we saw - amazing - huge over 300 feet high, 76 miles long & 2.6 miles wide. We have seen a number of glaciers but nothing like the Hubbard.

Did an ATV trip over an island in Icy Straits, dAd hit every pot hole he could find (only joking - there was nothing but pot holes - it was a track with water crossings- fun)

Went whale watching & saw many. Dolpins, seals, eagles & orcas - beautiful. At one time a whale swam beside the ship.

Prev week a cruise ship killed a whale that was doing the same thing.

Arrive in Vegas tomorrow night - hoping for better computer connections there. Will try & get photos in after that.

The happy travellers are well but missing our family & friends.

Thanks to those who have replied to our blog to date.

Cheers
