Anchorage and Whittier

Anchorage, Alaska, United States
Hello all.
Yes internet access on cruise ships is expensive so that is why here has been a delay . Sorry all.
We fly from Portland to Anchorage, which is not the capital of Alaska and we stayed their overnight, We only had the afternoon and the morning of the next day. Both days were mostly blue sky and sunny. Apparently this rare. In the afternoon we decided to take some advise of a local and have a look at Anchorage from the lookout and Flattop Mountain. Important point. We had a hire car and I was the driver. And my ability at driving on the right hand side of the road was awesome. Thanks to the screams of the other three people in the car. Such a great team. On arriving at the lookout we noticed that there is a short walk to the actual top of Flattop Mountain. We all agreed to do it so off we went. Yes it was short but it was very steep and for the last section you need hands and feet. The higher we went the windier and colder it became. It was great to stand on top.
The next day was the very pleasant 90 mile drive to Whittier where we the cruise starts. We also drove thru the Whittier tunnel. Very long and only a single lane. But thankfully I was driving the car so all went well.
Talk soon
