We woke up around 6:30, got dressed and strolled over to The Snow City Cafe. This was advertised as the best breakfast cafe in town. It didn’t disappoint us. Ann had Eggs Benedict Florentine while I had eggs with French toast and bacon. We had tasty orange juice and real coffee.
After eating, we took a leisurely stroll back to our hotel taking some photos along the way. The weather was sunny and cool. 
At 10:00 we walked across the street to the Saturday/Sunday Market. This is a very large tent market with vendors selling everything from jewelry to doughnuts. There was some produce, too. Ann bought some odds and ends while I bought an Alaska cycling jersey.
Leaving the market, we got some sandwiches to go for our bus ride to Seward. We boarded the bus around noon and took off for our scenic tour. Jamie, our bus driver, gave us a running 
commentary about the countryside. We went past many lakes, rivers, mountains and glaciers. It was very scenic especially with the brilliant blue sky. We made a few stops along the way for photos and nature calls.
We pulled into our hotel around 5:00. We cleaned up and took a shuttle into town for dinner at the Chinook Restaurant. Katie and Jamie recommended it as the best seafood restaurant in Seward. 
It was good, but pretty expensive. (The other good restaurants were just as expensive). I had grilled halibut with pilaf. Ann had grilled salmon with broccoli. Ellen had salmon linguini. Ben had a mixed fired seafood plate. We all had a pint of the local ale except for Ann who had white wine.
We’re now back at the hotel getting organized for our Kenai Peninsula tour early tomorrow morning and boarding our ship tomorrow afternoon. It’s 9:15 and I am getting sleepy.
