We’re in the land of the midnight sun now. Any guesses on what time I stayed up to take this picture?
Early morning minke whale watch |
Once we arrived in port many passengers took tours heading to the North Cape but I stuck close to home. Since today was Sunday and most stores were closed I got my laundry done before heading off the ship around 11. I started off by going up a little slope towards the shopping area to give Scooter a chance to prove himself on hills.
Oops, forgot the picture of the slope |
Yep, closed up |
He wasn't a fan of the incline (go figure) but he really wasn't a fan of all the uneven pavers. During Idaho winters we sometimes get frost heaves when the roadway buckles, bulges, or dips from the freezing weather. Here the roads themselves seemed to be smooth but when it came to the sidewalks, watch out. The changes in the pavers made the scooter go up, down, and sideways.
What a rollercoaster of a workout to keep control |
Thankfully there were other areas to explore. The marina had wooden walkways and pavers in better shape and certainly the scenery made up for the bump-bump-bump my bum bum felt there.
I watched people hike this mountain. Wow. |
