Alaska: The cruise bit

 So we began our cruise from Sitka, where we were taken to 'The Fortress of the Bear' first. Which is a rescue place for orphan cubs. If a bear is found to be a problem, it is shot, and sometimes that bear has a cub. Usually the cub is shot too. This place somehow managed to convince the government to let them try to show that cubs can be released, which Canada does sometimes.

Alaska: The land bit

We drove into Haines the day before we had our Ferry booked for Juneau, just to be sure we wouldn't miss it. It turned out there wasn't much to do in Haines, most places were still shut until tourist season started.

Flying over Kluane National Park

I'm so far behind on posts it's almost depressing. I'm going to skip Alaska for now, because there's too much to write, so I'll start with our flight-seeing over Kluane National Park.
