Day 3 – Cruise – Ketchikan

Monday 24 June

Today is another beautiful day (rare for Ketchikan) and we had a beautiful breakfast and then headed to downtown Ketchikan.  It was great to visit places we visited on our honeymoon.   However, it’s not our kinda place, with the pride of the town being the number of Brothels it had in the height of the Goldrush.  Many of the shops only exist to cater for the thousands of tourists on the cruise ships and shut up for the winter, leaving the hardy locals to brave the winter.   Feels kinda strange to be one of those tourists but the tourist shops really didn’t appeal.   We walked Creek Street and around the town and then walked to the ‘real’ end of Ketchikan to go and get our AT&T sim cards for the trip.  The locals are lovely and we headed back on to our ship.  Again we had a lovely dinner, and the staff are lovely.  Josh enjoyed hanging out at the teen centre in the evening.
