founded as a gold mining camp in
the 18 century.
Then we got to TracyArm Fjord - a
wilderness that consisted of two
fjords over 30 miles long, one fifth
of this area is covered in ice just
floating around,from small to huge
pieces. This was what we were all
looking forward too. I am certain
that we have all seen movies
with the Glaciers but nothing on
television had prepared us for the
magnitude, wonder, stillness and
the raw beauty of the glaciers. It
was everything and more anyone
can hope to experience
once in a lifetime.
(Except for playing
Carnival in T&T ... lol)
To say it was cold is
an understatement and
this was evident from
members who were
completely covered in
jackets, coats, blankets,
hat, gloves, scarves, all
worn at the same time in
an effort to keep warm.
Victoria our last
port of call was a bit
disappointing. We
arrived late in the
evening, and the shuttle
quickly took us to the
downtown area, where
we walked and shopped
for a short time, before
returning to the ship as
it was too dark to see
much.
Overall it was a
wonderful trip, an
amazing cruise with
fabulous company,
delicious food and great
entertainment with
lots of dancing (so you
know I was on the floor
having a blast).
Join us for 2014 as we
leave for Panama on
the 27th March and
Cuba 14th May.
