What’s the Capitol of Alaska?

Such a beautiful little town to wake up to! Being in the Aft of the ship we alway got a great view.

A mix of modern and historical buildings lined the streets as we made our way up the hill to the Capitol, it was small with a statue of William Seward out front and the history of how Alaska became a State. The Capitol building was closed so we walked around the area and back through town.

We had not planned an excursion for the trip but we knew we wanted to see Glaciers, so after a few inquiries we found a small airline that would fly us over a few of them, our reservation was not until later in the afternoon so we stopped for lunch at Alaska Fish & Chips, sharing a pound of delicious crab, seafood chowder and An Alaskan Smoked Porter. Great food with an excellent view of the seaplanes landing.

Right across was Wings Airline, for $299.00 each we had the opportunity to see 5 glaciers from a small fixed wing aircraft. The views were stunning and narration interesting, the entire flight lasted about 45 minutes. Not sure it was worth the price though.

When we landed it was getting a bit late, we walked around a little more before returning to our ship for the night.
