Day 6 – Cruise – Glacier Bay National Park

Thursday 27 June

We got up and had breakfast on the deck as we looked for whales (which some had seen before we got up).   With hardly a cloud in the sky and the most incredibly beautiful scenery, we sailed up into Glacier Bay National Park viewing Reid Glacier, Lamplugh Glacier and Marjorie Glacier and watched for the calving of the Glaciers.  There was less activity and significantly fewer icebergs in the water compared to 23 years ago which was a shame.  While still sitting viewing Marjorie Glacier, Tayla, Danika and Chris had a spa.  Then we moved to another area where we swam and lay in deck chairs as we all enjoyed the sun, finding it hard to believe that we were in Alaska, however just had to look around to be reminded by the incredible scenery of this most incredible jewel of God’s creation!   It was lovely to have a lazy day, soaking in as much of the view as possible, knowing that the weather we have experienced, yet again is God’s gift!
