Sadly, we are on our way back to Vancouver.

All good things must come to an end and we only have one more night before we disembark in Vancouver tomorrow morning.

Despite the weather we have enjoyed the cruise and seen lots of things that we will remember for a long time. Our last stop was in Ketchikan and once again our ship towers over the town. We see other cruise ships along the way as it is very busy during the Alaskan cruising season which only runs from May to September. Other times it is too cold and icy.

The crew have been magic and it was topped off at lunch yesterday (See photo) when they gathered around to sing a wedding song for us to help celebrate our marriage. It was quite moving but a lot of fun.

Every evening our cabin steward would leave a chocolate and a animal arrangement shaped from a towel on our bed. It was fun guessing what animal would be next.

We have met a lot of nice and interesting people who enjoy traveling like we do and we have had a lot of laughs. I would say that at least 95% of people that we have met have been great to talk to and are very interested in Australia.

Tomorrow when we leave Vancouver we will be flying back to LA to catch our flight back to Australia. After 6 weeks on the road we are looking forward to catching up with family and friends and we want to thank everyone who has followed our journey and who have sent us comments of support for the blog and congratulations on our wedding.

We counted 18 floatplanes lined up along the town of
Ketchikan.

Parked in the main street again...

Our cabin steward surprised us every night with a
animal arrangement like this made using towels.
