Each morning we start the day off in the Cruise Ship's gym. It is a little different on an elliptical or treadmill while at sea, but very necessary since there is amazing endless food available at all times of the day and night. We had a lot of free time today, which helped us to get some novel reading done, as well as ping pong, hot tubing, and just relaxing.
In the afternoon we arrived at Glacier Bay.
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is a 3.3 million acre park. The scenery is spectacular, with snow covered mountains peaks, ice-sculptured fjord, and the massive tidewater glacier. The glacier has been receding at a rapid rate, but non the less it is massive and astonishing. We were asked not to bring any straws, or paper products on the ship's deck while we were visiting the Preserve since it is a protected park.
The wildlife and marine life is abundant in Glacier Bay. We were able to see, at a distance, a large brown bear prancing around the mountain. It is always fun to see wildlife out in their natural habitats. We were hoping to see more, but weren't so lucky.
