Juneau.

Another grey morning that looked like theskies were going to open at any second. We had hoped to meet one of Stevens friend here, but he couldn't make it, so we decided to explore a little on our own. We were only in Juneau until 1:45 so we didn't plan any shore excursions, which was a good thing because all the plane and helicopter ones were cancelled due to fog. Just look how low those clouds are, and look how close the ship docks to the bottom of the mountian...really quite spectacular.
We decided to go up the Mt. Roberts Tramway, knowing that the view probably would be somewhat obscured by the clouds, but it was clear enough that we could get a good view of the harbour and the town. There were some nice hiking trails up there, a restaurant and a theatre as well as the to-be-expected gift shop.
