Day 4: Skagway
Another beautiful day. (Saturday, May 29) Our ship pulled into Skagway between 6 and 7 in the morning. We had to be on shore by 8 am for our train trip which left at 8 am from the dock (a very short walk). This is the famous White Pass train. We all 4 went on this outing. It was an awesome trip with unbelievable scenery. I had fun riding for short times outside on the platform between the cars. This was the best place for photos and of course I took plenty.
We returned to the ship for lunch. Kit stayed for a nap and I went "shopping". I found yet another wonderful quilt shop, a bookshop, and some nice galleries. We met at 3pm at the Skagway National Historical Site for a walking tour. Our guide was lots of fun and we learned a lot about Skagway. The National Park owns many of the historic buildings in the town and leases them to the shops. After our tour Kit and I went to the Skagway Brewery to give the spruce tip beer a try. I liked it fine.
Back on the ship, Kit had lasagna for dinner and I had veal cordon bleu. Then we went up to the "crows nest" to watch our ship pull out of the harbor.
