Margerie glacier in Glacier Bay. The Margerie Glacier is an excellent example of a tide-water glacier: a glacier that extends into a body of water

This is a photo of the Margerie glacier in Glacier Bay. We parked outside
this today on the ship. After spending hours on the deck we retired to the warmth of our stateroom at had our own personal view. Pretty good eh!

If you want a room like this ring Belinda at Flight centre Kalamunda! Well done Belinda.

The Canadian Rockies was an amazing wilderness experience and today has added again to our marvelous wilderness adventures. The Americans might be a bit tardy with their immigration procedures but they are looking after this place very well.

Around 6 am the local rangers, minus tonto, boarded our ship. They gave us information about the National park, glaciers, wildlife, etc.

I am not sure when I will log on for this but hope you enjoy it. Postcards are somewhere in our luggage!

Love and Joy

Graham & Jennifer
