See proof, the sign says so.There were four cruise ships docked! Two Princess ones, us and an NCL one. John liked the NCL colours, the kids liked the huge movie screens up on the Princess top decks (How come our ship doesn't have one of those?). We are the ones with the dark blue hull.
Ketchikan is actually on an island, with its airport on another island. You have to take a boat across to get there, although most air traffic is once again float planes. These are seriously cool things and if you can get the Sarah Palin images out of your mind, they would be worth the $150 for a flight if we had more time. It was fun just watching them take off and land. Most of the houses are along the waters edge and have their own docks with either a boat or a float plane....if you are rich both. Land is a bargain but building would kill you.
Coming into port we saw orcas dear a dry dock. Biz was pressed up against the window calling "Here fishy, fishy, fishy", must have worked. No photo once again!

The Ketchican Duck Tour was our first activity for the day, its a bus tour with a difference, you get to drive around on the water. You should have seen the kids faces when we were going down the boat ramp. Like all good boat ramps there was some dude parked on it when we wanted to get out. So we did lappies in around the docks. As you do!
Fishing is the other big industry (apart from tourism and timber)
This isn't the boat!
Told you these things are cool, look his and hers!
A little more about Ketchikan.
Here the kids are hanging off a statue in the port.
Every photo he stuck his tongue out, every one!
Whats the best thing about the duck tour? Sticking your head out the port holes like a puppy.
Class my kids, all class!
