Homeward Bound

Well that’s it.

Gone in the blink of an eye.

8 weeks of fun, adventure, new experiences and amazing views. What an amazing time we have had, finishing off with a couple of days in Anchorage, cleaning our RV and packing our bags. Finalising some shopping and spending some time walking through some lovely parklands around Anchorage. Flying to Vancouver where we filled the day in around Stanley Park, watching float planes and cruise boats. And finally boarding our flight to Sydney, Australia.

We have:-

Walked on Glaciers

Flown over mountain tops

Watched the night sky glow with an Aurora

Seen bears and moose, wolves and a Lynx

Cruised passed Glaciers

And kayaked below their ice cliffs

We have hiked and walked and kayaked and cruised

Seen amazing sights and beautiful fall colours

We have driven on paved roads, gravel roads, muddy and slippery roads

We have seen majestic vistas spread for miles ahead of us

Driven in fog where we can barely see 20 feet ahead of ourselves

We have had sun and rain and termination dust (First new season snow indicating the end of the summer season) on the mountains

Dipped our toes into the Arctic Ocean

(P- We have tasted Whale meat, held gold nuggets, been Salmon fishing, we have eaten local foods, experienced days of continuous sunlight, shared stories with locals, Boondocked (bush camped 75-80% of our nights)

I walked mountain top suspension bridges.

Plus I achieved my goal of Tasmania to the Arctic and return wearing shorts every day!

Whilst Judith visited many Quilt shops! Excelled in her roll as chief navigator and worried about the cliff edged roads we often drove).

We have driven 5000 mile (8000km)

Every day has been an adventure.

Oh what a wonderful adventure.

(P- now to plan our next adventure to – – – somewhere else on our amazing planet).
