Cruising to Alaska (day 6)

If you don’t like rain, don’t come to Ketchikan! In fact rain was pouring that day, so we weren’t so sure at first if it was worth our while to walk out of the cruise ship. 

After enough hesitations we poke our noses out and after going through the gangway that took us to “terra firma” we ended up in an old sawmill turned into a Native’s shopping mal where all the stuff shown was not only priced attractively, but was discounted 50% as the end of the season was around the corner. 

After buying a few hats for ourselves, we even bravely decided to board the shuttle bus to town under a heavy rain. The town of Ketchikan didn’t look that much and the beating rain did make it look much better so we decided to return with plenty of time left before lunchtime. 

The rain stopped as we left Ketchikan (of course) and the afternoon was a rather boring navigation between islands with strictly nothing exciting to see. 

At night, we treated ourselves to “Jersey Boys” a fabulous show about the life, success and tribulation of Frankie Valla and The Four Seasons a well-written and beautifully choreographed Broadway Production. 

Just perfect! Following that, we had a light dinner in the otherwise super large Manhattan restaurant that can seat more than one thousand people.

The largest dining room we’ve ever experienced…
