A nice easy,lazy start to the day, after all my early mornings out in the wilds, and a congenial breakfast in the Hotel, before saying Goodbye to most of the group who were flying out this morning..
Then it was final packing and storing of my luggage, and out into downtown Anchorage on a lovely sunny morning, with the ‘stragglers’..firstly going to the Anchorage market http://www.anchoragemarkets.com/main.html and wandering around the stalls there, including watching the ‘Chugach Mountain Range Cloggers’ –an experience not to be missed ! (don’t ask ?)
Then walked around the shops in Anchorage, and found a camera to buy, which will work with my own memory card, so I can get back to my own pictures !
Lunch, and it was then time to check into my accommodation for the next few days…The Alaska Backpackers Inn http://alaskabackpackers.com/ a basic place, but clean,dry and convenient for everywhere !
A sign declared ‘Dry Hostel’…No alcohol…or Drugs , nor guns or knives…
It was situated between the Sheraton Hotel, and the Downtown Soup kitchen …where have I landed ?
Anyway, my fellow stragglers gave me a hand with my luggage, and then I said a final farewell as they returned to the UK, leaving me alone in Alaska ..
Just time for mass at the Holy Family Cathedral at 5-30 p.m. conducted by a giant of a priest, who must have been 7' ft tall !
then a quick snack, and settling in to a night of peace !
Goodnight
