Juneau, The capital of Alaska.

We crossed another time zone... we are now 4 hours behind Ontario.

As we neared land again, we were awestruck by the beautiful scenery.



























Our first excursion in Juneau was to Mount Roberts.



We took the tramway up to the top for a bird's eye view of the area.








Looking down on Juneau... our ship is the one on the left






At the top of Mount Roberts, there is a conservation area. They take in injured birds, like this bald eagle. She had been shot by poachers & because she can no longer fly, she cannot be released back into the wild.









We then took a tour of the city of Juneau. Very much a tourist town. Lots of jewelry stores but not too much in the way of "good deals".




This evenings entertainment was comedian Michael James. He was more than a comedian... he did an amazing balancing act as well. It was great fun & we were truly well entertained.

We left Juneau about 10:00 pm for our next stop... Skagway.
