We did the Best of Skagway tour. Again through
NCL and there were only 22 people on this excursion. It started with a bus
ride up through Skagway and into Canada. We stopped several times for
photo ops. Beautiful scenery! We then too the White Pass Railway back down
to Skagway. This simply can’t be missed. We really enjoyed this. Beautiful
waterfalls, etc and a great narrator to point out sites along the way.
Back in Skagway we again boarded the bus for our Salmon Bake and tour of
Liarsville. Ok, I must confess that none of the 4 of us like Salmon but we
thought we had to try it in Alaska to see if it was different. Well, I am
sure it was wonderful but not to us. Although my 3 year old loved it! The
side dishes were great and they had hot cider and cookies! We are just not
fish people. Liarsville show was entertaining and then we panned for gold.
Not actual panning since the gold rush actually occurred 600 miles to the
north. But it was fun. Then back on the bus to the Red Onion Saloon for a
tour of the brothel. Interesting. We then had some time to shop before
going back on board. We found several interesting souvenirs at the White
Pass Railroad store. The train at least one way is a must but not sure the
other things were a must. Another beautiful weather day! The train was a
little chilly though so bring a jacket.
