    Checkin at City Diner Anchorage

      We woke up in Anchorage this morning and, knowing we had a big day ahead of us, fuelled up with breakfast at the City Diner.

      It was so nice to be back in a classic American diner again and we tucked in to a giant plate of blueberry pancakes and French toast.

    There was an old Snowplow Train parked at the side of the road on the way to Kenai. It was gigantic and I wouldn't want to get in the way of it.

    The drive was so pretty, with snow capped mountains reflecting off the shiny lakes.

    Checkin at Byron Glacier Trail Alaska

      We stopped off at Chugach National Forest to see some glaciers.

      There's a cruise that you could take out to one of the glacier but the fog was so thick that you wouldn't have been able to see anything.

      We decided to save money by hiking up to Byron glacier instead. It was a pretty walk but I was a little terrifyed we'd meet a bear or a wolf.

      It was awesome to stand on the glacier - this is what I imagined Alaska would be like.

      We then stopped off at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre in Kenai.

      These bear cubs had been abandoned by their mothers and were not able to live in the wild, so the sanctuary took them in.

      We were just in time to see the bears being fed. The local hunters donate the meat they don't need for the animals.

      Tom loved the bears so much!

    We continued our drive south to Seward, a town on the coast where you can take cruises out to see whales and dolphins.

    Checkin at Sourdough Sue's Pacific Yurts

      We stopped off at Sourdough Sue's on Bear Lake to see if we could get a yurt to stay in for the night and we were in luck.

      Sue lit the oil fire for us and the yurt was a super cosy place to spend the night.
