Cruise to Alaska - Juneau

I am still .. on my travelling tour in Australia right now but as my friends would know i took a 7 day cruise to Alaska. One of the ship's first stops was at Juneau where i took a helicopter ride to a glacier.

Alaska was breathtakingly beautiful. It was one amazing view after another, sometimes we spotted whales and dolphins in the distance as well. 

Sailing into Juneau  




 Getting ready for the helicopter ride...





 As we landed on the glacier, i remembered marveling at how blue the ice was underneath my feet. We wandered around with a guide and drank fresh water running through the glacier. Walking around, the guide explained to us regarding on how glaciers are formed 








Ending my day in Juneau with a ice cold beer at the Red Dog saloon where Wyatt Earl famously left his gun and never had a chance to claim it.
