Then it s on to Skagway in which we opted to go back to visit Haines which we previously visited on our first cruise to Alaska almost 15 years ago!  I fell in love with this place, THE VIEW well it s one of those places you visit that will always hold a close place in my heart!.
We took a ferry ride over to Haines that day.  We signed up for the 9 mile bike and kayak tour through an excursion company that I highly recommend!  Shore Trips!  There was only 3 of us. Two of us where from the ship, the other was visiting from Switzerland.  The bike ride wasn t hard at all and we pretty much had the road to ourselves.  We did run in to our friends, Mario and Bebe a few times as they were doing the bus tour of Haines.  We always seem to catch up to them on our bike stops.  ;-)
As you can see from our video/pictures what at amazing experience that didn t disappoint!  Haines is still the quaint town, and untouched by the cruise lines.  Holland s Oosterdam alternates stops in Skagway/Haines every other week, but most cruise lines are no longer allowed to dock there!
Check out the photo s of the lake that we had all to ourselves for a couple of hours.  Peaceful, Soul Searching Place.  It wasn t until Davie said BREATHE did it strike me that this was a piece of paradise.  Fresh Air/Fresh Surroundings!
