20090802 – Seward, Kenai Fjords and Veendam

100_4397 We were up very early today so that we could get to our fjord cruise by 8:00. Ann and I ate breakfast at our hotel – granola, fruit and coffee. We got on our bus at 8:00 and drove four miles to our Kenai Fjords cruise boat – The Orca Voyager. We were on board early enough so that we got an inside booth on the top deck. This gave us a good viewpoint until people outside stood in front of our window. This was OK with me because I was outside a lot to take photos. We saw lots of whales, different species of birds including bald eagles, otters, porpoises, seals, glaciers, water falls and floating ice. Rather than write about it, here are some photos:

We got back to Seward at 2:00 and boarded our cruise ship – The Veerdam. We have settled into our room which will be our home until August 9. The ship appears to be very well-appointed with lots of places to eat and to drink and to relax. I will publish more when I get some free internet connections.
