Alaska in a nutshell..

We are almost on our way out of here, but its been fun.. From dodging Grizzly bears while hiking in the mountians to gliding past icebergs from glaciers. Favourite places were somehow saved till last - at Valdez right now and we love it. Not only have we had sunshine (last years they only had 6 days of sun the whole summer) but the place isn't nearly as crowded with tourists as others on the alaskan coast. We have to come back during winter one day cos these mountains look like they'll be a lot of fun covered in snow! Also just been to Mcarthy which is hardly even a town, (no power/hot water - even though they had it here in the early 1900's) in the middle of nowhere surrounded by glaciers, mountains and a ghost town... had lots of fun exploring an abandoned, falling down buildings balancing on the edge of a cliff high in the mountains.We will be back one day for sure!
