The Alaska cruise was over and we're slipping into Vancouver under the cover of darkness and the smell of brimstone We're at the end of the hall and our bags stayed inside . Everything on a hanger with the bags were moved down 2 floors Breakfast was room service as we got off early to visit Vancouver There was only 1 teaspoon of Cottage Cheese We proceeded to the Gangway with In Transit card and old and new Key Card in hand. Started out good until we got to Customs and Immigration. We understood that we were suppose to walk out like a regular visit in port ( In Transit card with our passport through the crew line ) . Nope. Tried to go to Visitors and Crew and the young lady would not let us pass. We got in line with everyone else and when we got to Officer, we did not have our paperwork. We had turned it in the day before to the ship ( a discussion ..). Another officer came over and took care of the paperwork and got us through. Walked outside to pick-up areas for buses etc. A bit of a walk and we came out at the street in front of Pan Pacific Vancouver, where we met our guide Mahara. We thought that she may be a hand full .

We were considering lunch and Cruin called ahead, but they were out of Halibut. We could wait and they would have some fresh in a little. So, we headed off to see bear. On the way we passed some deer along the road. There was a beautiful waterfall we passed by. The bears were being a "little " shy. But the birds were waiting for fish also We still had a little time to kill so we stopped by the Fire Station Out with the old and in with the new This Tower can reach 100' on to or above the ship for firefighting or rescue purposes I spent most of my years on a meet wagon like this Time for the fish and chips . They we delicious !

We went outside near the bus bench in a a covered area where our guide showed us some hand made tools that he uses to carve totem poles . He is married to a local lady and had adopted many of the local customs . My wife is from Michigan and I'm from Florida and we met in Michigan when I was on vacation there . We were thrilled to see Fall colors and like to vacation in the Spring and Fall for a cool break from the Hot Florida sun . Pat getting a carving lesson

As rain was the order of the day I had my folding raincoat with lots of pockets As it wasn't that cold I wore it over my fleece and carried my camera bag underneath it in the front like a baby bump . Breakfast was at the Pinnacle Already to go ashore in our Lumberjack camouflage Our guide for the day Cruin , was just as he described and we had no trouble spotting him .

Rudi's Sel De Mar night in Pinnacle
scubacruiserx2 replied to dontpanik's topic in Holland America Line
No , we ate at the last Rudi's on the Neiuw Amsterdam on Glacier Bay Day on September 29th . You can see the photo review on it that we did today here: -
A couple of quick blurbs . We did enjoy our night at Rudi's . On the day at Skagway we went to the Elvis movie and left very early as we saw a number of inaccuracies and didn't find the movie very entertaining . Glacier Bay was a wash out and after seeing Glacier Alley , Patagonia and Antarctica we were disappointed . Please see our photo review by clicking here :
