We spent 2 nights here, went to see Santa at the North Pole see photo. the men did a trip to see the Great Alaskan Pipeline. We all had a great paddle boat ride stopping to see the sleigh dogs training and also stopping at an Indian reservation to go back in timeto see how they lived. Had 2 great meals... still waiting for tomorrow to come so can start diet. We have had to buy more suitcases... must be buying too many pressies, off again on the train to Denali. Has great seats 1st class carriage in the bubble dome on the top. Trip was 3 and half hours before we got off to our cabin accommodation.
Next day we did a great trip into Denali National Park...was a 13 and half hour day...saw bears grizzlies moose caribou eagles all in their natural habitat. The bus trip was hairy in places when trying to pass other busses on tight corners, with a big drop on our side of road... no wider than Galston Gorge. Our Lovely cabins were right on the edge of a river ...see pictures. 2 Days in Denali then on the train again to Anchorage...about 6 hours ride this time travelling through great scenery. Not much time to explore anchorage as we had to be on the train again ...this time to Whittier where we board ship.... Pete bought a jacket at Alaskan Railroad station good job we bought the extra suitcases.... this note is being written sitting in the railway station..hopped on train...ummm not going anywhere...we waited and waited...told the train had a hole in the brake compression chamber....then was unable to start as no power...we had only gone 100 yards....so had to return to the station and catch a bus.. this took about 2 hours the bus came quickly and the bust trip only took an hour and a quarter compaired to 2 and half by train so we caught up and boarded the Ship at Whittier.
