We have just come back from the most fantastic 3 week cruise to Alaska. It was without doubt, one of our best trips ever. Every box was ticked, good birds, scenery to die for, a beautiful ship, excellent food, brilliant weather, good company along the way, even more excellent food, varied thrush, brown bear and more excellent food ! What more could you ask for ! Hope you like our pics x
The trip started with 2 days in a 5* luxury hotel in Vancouver, The Fairmont. It was the poshest place we have ever stayed! Just a 10 minute walk from the waterfront and a couple of miles walk from Stanley Park where we would head to on day two.
The Fairmont, Vancouver
Our room before we unleash all our stuff ! Full seating area, desk, drinks and a snack cabinet (where everything was a staggering price). Price was £500 a night but the room was part of our cruise package. It was as comfy as it looks !
The ground floor, Dior, Gucci, Louis Vitton, Chanel.......not a pound shop in sight !
Even the door fobs were wooden and not plastic.
The waterfront, Vancouver. Our hotel was a 10 minute walk away and all the trees you can see in the distance are the start of Stanley Park where we were heading to. A lovely walk with beautiful blue sky and a few birds added to the list on the way. How the other half live with a few yachts for sale with a million dollar price tag !
Sea Planes were everywhere we went and are the main method of delivery for both people and goods.
A massive whirligig made of bike wheels and spoons. Very effective when the wind caught it.
The cruise terminal
Right or wrong ? There was a shop on every corner.
Our package included all pickups. Our jaws dropped to the floor when this Tesla Uber turned up, it was like getting a space ship !!
