We arrived in the capital of Alaska, Juneau, around 08:00 this morning. We had no tour booked here, which was good as the weather has deteriorated rather than improved. We had low cloud and more consistent rain, hopefully this system will rain itself out soon.
We took a walk (paddle?) through the town this morning, and managed a bit of geocaching as a bonus. After lunch we did the same thing going the opposite way.

Our Cabin
Front and centre, our cabin has a red rectangle around it.
I also tried getting some form of affordable internet going. I was partially successful, but the speed is slower than molasses in January! I think the original 1200 baud modems of the 80’s were faster than this.
We’ve just got back from an informative and entertaining talk by Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the Iditarod race.
That’s about it for today, I am planning on getting some pictures into the blog, but it may take a while. I’ll put a message in the blog, if / when I get the posted. Next stop Skagway and a train ride.
