Zija Alaska Cruise - Day 5 - Skagway

Small town of Skagway greeted us on the 5th day of our cruise. We actually really liked this tiny town that looked ancient from the 1900s.

Golf balls for sale.

Interesting siding from 1899.

Old saloon.

Boardwalk sidewalks.

Then it was time to hop on the train and travel 20 miles up the mountain to the Canadian border and come back.

I dressed like a lumberjack just for this occasion. People! You have to plan your outfits so you can fit in with the locals. Come to think of it, I don't think we saw any locals.

We saw a bear...and mountain goats.

This man was the "Brakeman". We were going down the hill and obviously he was in our section and not using the brakes, so we had to ask him:"Hey brakeman, if you are here, who is pushing on the brakes?" He didn't find it funny. Could it be that he had heard it before? He had no sense of humor.

We survived.
