We waved our ship the Veendam goodbye and booked into the oldest hotel in town - not glamourous but v interesting with early photos of the building of the railway and the days when Alaska was part of Russia. After exploring the town by foot in the rain we decided that we needed a car and so set out to Exit Glacier. Amazing we booked into a ranger guided tour.

Next day it was cold and wet but those glaciers are just fantastic. We were due to be picked up by bus to take us on a tour up to Anchorage which included a visit to a conservation area - where we could see Moose, Carribou, bears etc.

At 9.00 pm we got a phone call to say that they had cancelled our bus. We are still trying to get our money back!!!
