Endicott Arm Fjord & Dawes Glacier




Wifey awoke today at 0500 hours and made it upstairs to save our viewing spot for the glacier around 0530.  She was too late at that point for the optimal window.  Not sure how early would have been "early enough" but apparently 0530 wasn't it.  The situation wasn't improved by one individual who had taken several individual articles of clothing off and saved numerous seats ... and then left.  Which, incidentally, is a violation of RC rules.  Yes, security was notified.  

Regardless, a spot was obtained, and we proceeded to get to know our neighbors and settle in for the next several hours wait as we headed towards Dawes Glacier. 

Hubby practiced his Engineering skills and helped set up our travel tripod with the Osmo and backpack clip.  It's a bit wonky ... but it worked!

The ships photographers were roaming around the top decks during our trip into the Fjord and our favorite stopped by to take a few quick pics in front or our hard fought for window:  




Later, we we reached the actual Dawes Glacier, we went upstairs to the top deck and had a few pics taken in the cold :) 






Once Ovation left the Fjord, we filled the rest of our day exploring the on-board activities .... specifically Bumper Cars!!! Wifey was more excited about this than Hubby, but ended up enjoying the experience fall less.  As it turns out, two bumper cars going in opposite directions at high speed create quite the jolt upon impact.

Following Bumper cars, we cleaned up for our second Formal night and took some quick pictures.  Pictures will be a theme of the night.  






Formal pictures complete, we enjoyed another yummy dinner chatting it up with our table neighbors! 




Quiche for an appetizer! 


We both ate Lobster for our main ... only one picture was necessary! 


We enjoyed Baked Alaska and a Molten Chocolate cake for desert! 






We had missed several evening photos due to our land excursions, so we went back to our room to change clothes take some more pictures while the opportunity was open!  The results did not disappoint: 






Then we went back to our rooms ... changed cloths .... and took more pictures!
