Wild life and glaciers

Coming back from Misty Fjord, we had many sightings of humpbacked whales.

On to Juneau, where we were supposed to take a floatplane ride over glaciers; however, it was very foggy and they had to cancel all plane and helicopter excursions. It was way too foggy even to take the Mt. Roberts tramway. Instead, we took a bus tour of Juneau and to see the Mendenhall Glacier.
