Skagway, it's as far as we can go. It's a fjord. The ice has melted from the Glacier and salt water has taken its place.
We. Have a tour of gardens and glass blowing. Clive was concerned I would be disappointed as some people were going on the train through a pass. I was not. We had the most wonderful day, the guide was a guy called Arron -he lived in Skagway. He was so enthusiastic and we had the most wonderful rapport with him. He plays in a Reggae band - so was in tune with Clive. He almost made you want to live in Skagway! We had a wonderful lunch included in our tour.
They made the most spectacular glass objects. There were glass flowers in the flower beds! The story of the conception of the gardens was unbelievable. This man came to find Gold in the Gold Rush and he found the people were suffering from scurvey. He planted rhubarb - which likes the frost and sunlight. He brought his wife and two small children to join him. It was such a tough existence- still no hospital there! Great photos and story!
Another perfect choice Clive!
