State capital of Alaska, but no roads or rail to anywhere else. We've been before but couldn't really remember it. We took the cable car (locally know as a tram) last time to the mountain top. Noticed inflation as we paid $20 last time, now $60 pp. Didn't bother.
Has a nice old town with shops selling jewellery, souvenirs and bars. I think we are the last cruise ship through before winter, so a lot of the shops were shutting up. Someone said they moved to the Caribbean for the winter. Wanted to try the King Crab legs on front but wasn't hungry enough. Weather has been stunning, warm & very little wind. Got back on board & fell asleep in the lounger chair for an hour in the sun - lovely when you're jet lagged.
The native totem poles are a bit hairy raising.
