Done Alaska!


Rainforest Sanctuary trail walk early Tuesday morning (2nd day into the cruise) at Ketchikan, Alaska. My Man spotted his first live brown bear wandering around amongst the thick foliage. Never seen so many huge salmons hopping around in a creek in my life. Wish I could live there just so I can dine on salmons all day long....no fishing skills required, just pick them hopping fishes up with bare ('cuse the pun) hands.


Rainbow over Ketchikan, Alaska....no sweeter way to end the day. Another treat that day included non-stop dining on board till sunset - in true Singaporean/cruise style! You should see the retirees eat. Believe you me they put us to shame!

Sumdum glacier, near Juneau, Alaska. Bet you can't tell. But it's the blue-est thing we've ever seen. True blue block of ice!
The general Alaskan landscape. Absolutely enchanting. Apparently certain mosses only grow when there's completely fresh, clean, pure air...like in Alaska. See how green am turning already. By the way, even a huge cruise ship like the Norwegian Sun sways like a cradle in Alaskan waters so.....get your motion sickness pills ready when your turn comes! Alternatively, dun stuff your face like I did :)


Sunset walk on deck. Most romantic stroll ever....This cruise was possible courtesy of gwandpa and gwandma. Pa even bought me the Colombian emerald pendant I drooled over the entire trip! Altogether an unforgettable heart-warming journey with the extended family. Wanna plump up the kids? Cruise them to Alaska! Giant sized sugar-sweet shrimps and creamy oysters are abundant in Wrangell - fresh off the waters onto the grill....and ice-cream and desserts are free-flowing on board! :)
