It's been several months since I've posted to my blog so I think it's time to catch up. I'm going to go back in time and try to recreate what's been going on. As you will soon see, there has been a lot! I'm even going to have to change the name of my blog as a result of the latest events! But I digress, back to the past!
Back to our cruise! We spent the next day at sea with lots of relaxing. Spent time in the spa and taking in some shows. Our next stop was to be Ketchikan. We had signed up for an excursion to the Rain Forest to do Zip Lining and Adventure Rope Challenges. We met our bus at 6:00 AM and it was the first day of rain we had seen. The locals were thrilled with the rain because they had not had rain for about 15 days and they collect rain water for drinking and bathing etc. They love the rain! We were driven to the Rain Forest where we met up with our guides, they were just a couple of young boys so it was a little unnerving to trust them with our lives. They strapped us up for the Zip Lining and away we went. I'm afraid of heights but for some reason was not too nervous. I had survived the helicopter ride, so how bad could this be.
Here are some pics of our adventures that day!
The next part of our cruise was to Victoria Canada. We were only there for a couple of hours so decided to not do any excursions but to explore the town on our own. It was nice to just walk around and then we went back to the ship for dinner. The cruise was winding down and we were on our way back to Seattle. It's amazing how efficiently these ships operate. You could tell they've done it before!
Once back in Seattle we stayed a couple more days to finish up the trip. We did all the touristy things and really enjoyed the city. We had beautiful weather and unusually warm and sunny so all the stories about the rain and dreary days in Seattle didn't dampen our trip!
