Alaska Day 15: Safari Explorer to Juneau to Anchorage

Sandy's younger brother is on the dock to greet us...not quite as much apricot, otherwise identical. This is  a 4 month old

Day 15: Safari Explorer to Juneau to Anchorage

Weather Report: Foggy, overcast, pleasant, temps in the low 60s

Quote of the Day: Are these mostly tourists?

It’s a Covid world: The elevator to the 11th floor is full, THB is the only one wearing a mask

The dock is set up to adjust to the tides, which are severe here in Juneau

Gorgeous at around 8:45

Alaska State Museum is excellent, worth a detour (if you're already in Juneau)

Inspired W Allen in Sleeper

The Red Dog Saloon has been here for over 30 years. Empty at 10:15am

Finally a utility box worthy of a pic

Turn your screen on its side, this is the gondola going up the hill in a deep fog

Without the big cruise ships this spot doesn't open until 2pm

THB and DB's tower at the Captains Cook Hotel. Probably owned by one of the cruise lines

THB and DB dine al fresco. Nobody here is wearing masks, nor are they required to

First course

Second course: 1 lb of Alaska King Crab, which includes the shell. More like lobster in taste than Dungeness crab and more like 4/10 of a pound of meat. With fries and asparagi this is a $60 plate. With dozen oysters, a brewski and 2 glasses of mediocre CA sauvignon blanc, with tip $145. THB knows a tourist spot when he sees the bill.
