This morning was our last of excursions off the ship. We docked close to another national park and glacier. We woke up to rain but some rainbows were in sight. It was a short hike to the glacier.
The hike was through some nice vegetation. There were wild fuchsias, interesting lichen and mud on the trail.
The ship company had a raised, portable walkway for us to use. The national park gave permission for the walkway to be placed so tourists could hike closer to the glacier. Every time I took an excursion off the ship it was a clothing production. We never knew of there would be rain, wind and cold. I wore leggings under my rain pants, a long-sleeved thermal top, my long-sleeved swim sun top, a polar fleece jacket, a rain jacket and then a balaclava, fleece hat and the hood of my rain coat to keep warm. I looked and felt like a stuffed
mannequin. I was never cold but I did get too warm at times. The last item was the required life vest.
