Alyeska

today we left the ship in Seward and travelled by coach to Alyeska our place for 2 nights. It was about a 2 hour journey but we had several stops on route so we nearly 6 hours after leaving the ship that we arrived. At a place called Portage we went on a cruise on the lake. Although it is summer the mountains which are all around still have a good covering of snow on them. We took a boat trip on the lake. The cruise before ours had seen a bear on a glacier but no such luck for us.   The waterfalls are spectacular and make the Brudle Falls look like babies in comparison.there was also a spectacular glacier.  From here we went to an Alaskan wildlife park. Her we saw brown and b,ack bears plus a bear cub in their natural environment. The animals here have all been picked up injured and brought here to rehabilitate .
I had a bad photograph day today. My Ipad has decided to only take out of focus pictures so I then used my camera which decided the batteries were flat. Thus only a couple of photos of the glacier and waterfall
