Day 8-Whittier-9 Jul

Returned the car to Anchorage airport and caught the ACT shuttle bus to Whittier. We stopped at Beluga Point but didn't spot any whales then went to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre.

We got up close and personal with a wolf, moose, elk, musk ox, black and brown (grizzley) bears. We got unbelievably close to a grizzley that lunged out of the water playing with a stick then came and had a close look at the viewing public. We'll never get (I hope) so close to a bear ever again.
We took the 2 1/2 mile long, single lane tunnel to Whittier. Then we boarded the Star Princess. 

We toured the ship to find all the bars and eateries. Then had a very nice dinner in the main dining room. Instead of a show we had cheese, bickies and wine on our balcony overlooking Prince William Sound. 

Lovely day.
