10.8.2022 At sea
10/08/22 14:40
It's now Alaska Time, I.e. UCT - 9.
I woke up at 5:15 because the sun was shining through the window directly into my eye.
A glorious sunrise
and no this is NOT the sunset picture from
yesterday.
Got quickly dressed to capture the start of another glorious day.
During the night we made it almost to Prince Rupert where back in September 2019 I disembarked the ferry to continue my journey by train.
But not this time, the voyage continues and later this morning we will pass the US/Canada border.
I booked for today an exciting excursion by Zodiac into one of the fjords. Watch this space !
Weather today: F A N T A S T I C
The uploaded pictures will prove that but being on sea it as always very windy so that one didn't feel the sun.
Only when we entered the Misty Fjord later today the wind subsided and one started to get hot 🥵 but much milder then the heat which seems to have hit Europe again.
As soon as we entered the fjord the landscape which was already fantastic unto this point got breathtaking. Unspoiled nature !
Again: look at the pictures and I'm certain you will agree.
At around 16:30 I had to get ready for my scheduled zodiac excursion which was 100 times better than expected.
We cruised in little zodiacs in the final part of the fjord where the Amundsen could not anger.
Completely unspoiled nature, actually a protected rainforest. Very rough nature with its very own beauty !
Upon return to the ship I had to rush a bit to attend the briefing for tomorrow which includes the schedule for tomorrows onshore excursion in Wrangell on Wrangell Island.
Dinner tonight was in a separate restaurant on the ship: a very tasty vanilla milkshake and a steakburger with fries.
FYI: The name of the head chef on the ship is "McDonald". Coincidence ?
