Left Denali yesterday morning aboard the McKinley Explorer train on an 8-hour trip to Anchorage. It was a very fancy domed car, with comfortable seats, a bar and a bartender upstairs, and a dining car below. Had a nice lunch (huge portions - we forgot to order to share) and a few drinks, and watched the landscape for more wildlife. I got all excited at being the first to see a moose, though I wondered later if I had just mistaken a tree root ... :-)
We have been very impressed with the efficiency of Holland America on the land tour portion of this trip. Every time we arrive in a new place, there is an envelope waiting for us, including our room keys, an itinerary for the time we're in that location, and very clear instructions on when to put our bags out and when to meet to leave. Our group has been travelling together, separate from the other group on the same itinerary, with our very engaging Journey Host, Peter.
Looks as if we're in for few more days of damp and overcast weather before the sun returns.
