Day 6 Skagway

Today we all took a 3 hour train ride into the mountains to the summit and back. The views were amazing. The mountains were so high and so extensive, everywhere you looked. At times it looked like the track was tittering on the edge of the mountain.








After returning back to the ship Courtney and Paige left for horseback riding and dad did an organized walk through town. Monte and I walked into town also to mail a post card for Courtney. It is very touristy selling lots of stuff and tons of jewelry everywhere. We are not too keen on all that. It was very cold today and the wind picked up which made it even colder.







We all returned in time for dinner, then after dinner we made arrangements for the girls to change rooms. Paige said her room was noisy and asked me for ear plugs and sleeping pills the last few nights. I had no idea how loud their room was until I went into it around 9-10 o'clock. Their room sits above a bar/club that runs until midnight with live music. When I heard how loud it was, it was unacceptable. I wish we understood that a few days ago, but we did successfully move them tonight. So instead of being around the corner, they are now down three floors and toward the front of the ship. It is quiet and much better for them.






Tonight we went out on the deck again. It was really bone chilling cold, but the views were so amazing we had to go out. We finally came in about 10:00 and it was still fairly light outside. Just beautiful! And pictures just don't do it justice! The mountains are around us 360 degrees so the camera just can't capture that.
