Juneau, Alaska

Today we arrived at Juneau. It is the capital city of Alaska and therefore another state capitol was on our schedule. In the morning a coach brought us to the Mendenhall Glacier where we also saw black bears eating salmons. It was heavy raining that day. Feeling cold we bought some tea with rum at a local pub. We enjoyed getting off our wet clothes in the early afternoon. The cruise ship brought us into a fjord where we came close to the Sawyer Glacier. We watched that from the beer garden ;-) .
