Ketchikan (15th of August)
We arrvied today in Ketchikan - small place, although we were sharing the harbour with 4 other cruise ships..
aparantly the population of the town is only 8000 and 10000 tourists turned up today!Our tour was good.. a look at some of the native american carving and such (totem poles/etc) and a road tour of half of the 30 miles of road they have on the island. We arrived at the old cannery for a tour.. saw a black bear on the way - oh.. something else.. Salmon.. DAMN there are a lot of Salmon, jumping all over the place - it was amazing to see so many of them!
We then boarded a boat for a trip back to the harbour, looking at the various creatures and such.. saw Bald eagles and a humpback whale that decided to hang around for a while being a tad playful. It was a good tour today!
Weather is a bit cold today however.
