Day 16

Skagway

We docked sometime in the night and as we had a train ride booked for 12 25 To White pass and the Yukon route there was a good time to have a lay in.
Went down at around 11 30 meat Ron and Ann and stood in line so we could get a good seat but it was the biggest balls up you ever saw the train wasn't ready till nearly 13 00 then when it was time to board the train they said to walk around this marker then down the train, then they undid the web barrier and let everyone just go for the train.
That is when Val spat the dunny the train was delay for another 10 minutes until the conductor said we could have the rear carriage that was empty to our selves.
Problem fixed the train then departed.
It was a very good ride the views were spectacular past water falls and snow covered mountain peaks the round trip took 3.5 hours.
When we got back to the boat we went for a walk into town with its wood slatted side walks, then back to the boat where we departed at 19 00.
