It was a wonderfully exciting day in Hoonah, Alaska. Despite the rain, we saw lots of wildlife both marine and aerial from the whale watching boat. Loved the hospitality of the local people as they shared a little of their culture with us. At the Wild Alaska Cooking School we created and enjoyed some delicious salmon and halibut dishes! One of the delightful aspects of Icy Strait is that we were the only ship in port so the area was not so totally overrun with tourists!
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
