5 27 VICTORIA BC thru 5 30


AMAZING SUNSETS

After leaving Juneau, we set sail across the open sea toward Vancouver Island and Victoria. Open Sea. Not my favorite thing. Actually in all of our sailing, we have not had many bad days. We had 2 this trip, and 4 days on our round the world cruise of 102 days. Not too bad a record. But the 26th wasn't the best nor was it the worst. So, glad it is over.
We arrived in Victoria at about 5pm and were scheduled to leave at midnight. That didn't leave much daylight. So, since we had been there twice before, we just walked around and found an Internet spot to do the Juneau post. Then we were off to Seattle, to disembark the next morning. We had to get up at 5 am so we could be out of the cabin by 7. Then we had some breakfast, done by 8 and then sat around until almost 11am before we could get off the ship. Luckily we did not have a plane to catch. We had our car at the home of our new friends in Seattle. THANK YOU GISELA AND WOLFIE. They were away in Germany but we had no trouble retrieving our car. Then off to a place to rest. We spent 2 nites in Fife (of course, close to a casino) for some RnR. (imagine needing RnR after a cruise, but we did)
