6-hour Boat tour around the Glacial Fjords, then Onward onto the Boat.
Started at 11:30am, at least we woke up in a decent time. Got the motion patch going, and i don't know if it worked or not but there were only a few sections of rough rockin n rollin on the boat. The tour was pretty cool, there was a drizzle here n there but, got real close to the Glacier to hear n see the snap-cracklin-n-popin of the ice. The glacier has this real pretty blue to it. It's like someone dumped a whole lotta coloring on the ice. But the melt isn't from global warming, it's just that the glacier moves one to two feet per day into the water. Saw Orcas, Humpback whales, Bald Eagles, and the cute Puffins!
Tis the last day on land, we got rushed into the boat fairly quickstyle. The bad part is those stupid welcome photographs. How does one suppose to look after being in windblown air for a few hours and then hurried into tour buses into the Terminal.
The crew is mostly indonesians!
I've gotta figure out why it's called the m.s. Ryndam. Wheres Mr. Ryndam?
Our room ready in the nini mode.
