Day three (Ketchikan)

We were so excited to get up today and go into Ketchikan and do some kayaking and shopping! We first loaded a bus and took a 20minute ride outside of town to some Islands called Eagle Islands. It was so beautiful there and so peaceful. We had a tour guide that we followed around all these little coves of the islands in a kayak. My arms were a little sore the next day but well worth every minute of rowing.





Around lunch time we still had a few hours before we had to be back on the ship so we walked around the town for a few hours and shopped. The town of Ketchikan is so tiny but absolutely beautiful. We found this stream up behind the town and the Salmon were spawning up the stream, we just stayed and watched them try to swim up stream for a while and walked around.








Our sunset that evening when the fog was just barley coming in around the different islands, it never really got totally dark there. The sun went down close to 11:00pm but it was never all the way dark and then the sun would come up about 4:00am (it took some getting use too).
