Up at 5:45am to check out and take a taxi to the train station for a 6:30am boarding.
Boarding when smoothly and again we had the best seat on the
train – the front row with all the windows in front of us. We had asked several months ago for those
seats and they gave them to us.
We sat with a couple from Houston, TX and enjoyed breakfast
of reindeer sausage, eggs and biscuits.
The 4-hour trip went fast and the hotel shuttle was at the
station to meet us; however, we could only give them our luggage as we had a
boat trip to take for the next 4 hours from 12:30pm – 4:30pm.
WOW!! What a great 4 hours. The Captain told us that the odds of seeing a
whale was very, very slim and guess what – WE SAW A WHALE!! We also saw, Puffins, Sea Lions, Seals and
Bald Eagles.
After an exciting trip, we took the shuttle to the hotel to
check in. The Hotel is the Hotel Seward
and it has been in existence since 1905 and has only had 4 owners. They gave us a great room as you can see by
the picture.
We went to a local restaurant for dinner and had a fresh
caught Halibut dinner.
Back to hotel to take the COVID test and we both tested
negative – YEA!!
After another long day, it was to bed for a fun day tomorrow
in Seward.
Night from Alaska again.
Just sunning themselves on the rocks
