When I opened the door this morning I had a birthday card from Carnival in my mail box.
Because there was 15 people in our group doing the tour we had a bus all to ourselves for our Emerald Lake tour with
Dyea Dave Tours.
Our tour guide warned everyone that when the Canadian Immigration boarded our bus at the border they do not want to see fruit on board especially bananas. Elaine & Fred quickly ate the evidence.
We stopped to take pictures
of the Sawtooth Mountains
& the Captain William Moore Bridge.
There used to be stores and places to stay out on the island for the miners who traveled by boat could stop and be safe for the night.
I walked away from the group and found a couple and their dog getting ready to head out on Tutshi Lake in their kayak.
We entered the Yukon.
Michael was always out to get a good picture.
We stopped for a restroom & snack break in Carcross.
We left there and headed further into the Yukon to the Carcross Desert.
Emerald Lake was beautiful with the different colors that others say reminds them of the Northern Lights.
We then headed back to Carcross which we just walked around town and got our passports stamped.
We also stopped after passing through the border to take pictures of the steam train.
The train has to wait to head back to Skagway until the new train clears the tracks for the way back. We chose not to wait to see the two trains together.
One last scenic stop before dropping everyone but Jenna & I off in town.
Jenna & I went back to the ship because I had a headache. I took some medicine, we grabbed some lunch and then went out to admire the view from the ship.
Then we played a couple of rounds of miniature golf before everyone else came back on board.
We got up and danced to Apple Bottom Jeans. Dennis got a little carried away and thought he was supposed to pole dance.
Ken the "singing Maitre d'", our head waiter Damir & the rest of our group sang Happy Birthday to me.
