Tuesday In Juneau

Tuesday and we are in Juneau. Because we don’t have a tour booked there is no rush to leave the ship so we decided that this was the day to have room service for breakfast. It was delivered at 7:30 just as requested. It was really nice. The coffee was hot and the assortment of fresh berries was wonderful. After breakfast we disembarked and took a leisurely stroll around the city. We actually walked for almost 3 hours with stops in the various shops. I gat a nice vest for Noah and the highlight was finding a vendor of kettle corn. He carried the regular , plus caramel , and a white cheddar. He assured me there was no sugar in the white cheddar kind so that is what we bought. I think the caramel was so much better. (he gave us samples) We met Wayne and Carol along the way and roamed with them for a little while. We are always impressed by the jewelry in these places. Every window is filled with the most unique pieces, no 2 are the same and all are spectacular, so much more special that what you see in areas that don’t cater to the tourist. We did not purchase today but we enjoyed looking. We came back to the ship for lunch. The dining room was not open so we had to go to the buffet for lunch. We had a rest in the afternoon and then we dressed early for dinner. We made plans to meet Wayne upstairs in Skywalkers Longue. The special drink for the day is a port wine and Ken likes that. BUT I have been seeing a drink being served and it looks fantastic. It is a beautiful red color. I had no idea what it was so I asked a bar tender and he told me that it was a strawberry daiquiri. This was my chance to order one . It was amazing. Actually it is like a strawberry smoothie with a bit of a kick. Loved it. Then we had to get downstairs for dinner. Gordon and Barbara were not there. I hope there is not a problem. It was Italian night and we had lots of fun joking with the staff. The head waiter for the dining room is very tall and I mean very tall. At one point there was a picture taken of him and I together. The tall and the short of it.:-) Together Marium and Joan and Ken and I went to the early show. It was a full production show with the Princess singers and dancers. They never fail to amaze with their high energy and their quick changes. It turned out to be a good thing that we went to the early show because the 8:30 was cancelled due to a computer glich that wouldn’t let them raise the curtain on the stage. We finished the evening by having a specialty coffee at the International Café. I fat a skinny latte and Ken had a mocha. Then it was off to bed. Another busy day had come to an end.
