From there we found a shuttle bus driver who would take us wherever we wanted all day long for $7 a person. Score. So we headed out to Fortress of the Bears to see some wildlife. I LOVED this and the bears were really well trained and fun to watch. You could tell the trainers really loved the bears and that the bears were well taken care of.
My favorite part was seeing how the bears would put up their hands and in a begging motion ask for food. It was really cute. Looked like they were praying! And the trainers would reward them with a tasty apple or vegetable.
They also had this little petting zoo where you could feed goats and ducks and ponies a bucket of fresh fruit and veggies. The apples seemed to be the favorite!
Adam wanted to get off the beaten path a bit so we took a detour on our Totem Park Trail out to the sea.
Adam and I decided to walk back into town afterwards and just look around until it was time to board for the ship. We had a bit of fun along the way.
Sitka was beautiful and we really enjoyed our day. Afterwards we headed up to grab some lunch in the Lido and then headed back down to our rooms to watch the disembarkation. I LOVED the scenery as we left. Everything up in Alaska is so beautiful!
That night we had our 2nd of formal nights and had a BLAST getting all dressed up and going dancing. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE these formal nights? It totally made my night too when we got to the dining room and discovered LOBSTER and FILET MIGNON on the menu….together. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Best MEAL of the trip for sure! Below is Adam excited about his escargot! (snails) YUCK!
