The ferry from Prince Rupert to Juneau

We boarded the ferry at about 10.30pm pretty exhausted. Really looking forward to relaxing on the boat and letting someone else take over the traveling. We hit the sack soon after boarding, getting slowly rocked to sleep as we departed the port.

I have to say that night was one of the most satisfying nights sleep I’ve ever experienced. We eventually woke up at 10am the next morning. Looking out the window that morning was also pretty special., sailing through these majestic foulards surrounded by giant mountains.

We settled in to a pretty relaxing few hours sitting on the viewing area of the bow. Gradually the mountains got bigger, and bigger the further north we went.

The ferry stopped at some pretty interesting villages on the way too.

Kitlanna, Wrangle, Petersberg, Kake. The whole trip took 29hours before we finally arrived in Juneau. Shame it was at 4.30am. Early start that day. At least we got to see the sun rise.
