Monday, May 16th. Took the Alaska Railway Tour train to Seward. Upper deck seating with an open-air balcony. Beautiful sights! Commentary along the way. Train would slow/stop for good scenes and even stop for wildlife sightings. Moose, eagles, no bears.
In Seward rushed to boat for six hour cruise. Sea otters, sea lions, whales, eagles, goat, various birds. Saw large pieces of ice fall into the sea from a glacier. Crew hauled a piece of glacier ice on board. Crystal clear. National Park ranger, who neither talked too much nor too little, admitted we were lucky to see all the things we did. Began to rain towards the end. Cold.
Return train was under clouds. Views not so good. Arrived at 10:15, still daylight!
Nice day, way too many pictures.
