Jumpin Juneau!!

Tuesday 17th June 2014

We slept until 10am due to being late to bed last night and the day starts out rainy and cold.

We have a small kitchen in our room and seeing we are staying here for three days we decide to find a supermarket to buy food so we can cook our dinners.  There is an IGA within walking distance, we get cereal fruit, yoghurt, steak, fresh vegetables, two frozen dinners, cider, wine and some snacks.  About $100 for 3 breakfasts, 1 lunch, snacks and 2 dinners.  We have allowed a $100 daily food budget so it helps when we can save money like that and it's great to be able to cook for ourselves.

Due to the rain we decide to go see a movie this afternoon so the X-men movie it is.  We ride over to the cinema in the rain but when we come out of the movie theatre it's bright sunshine.  The movie was great and a good way to spend the afternoon.  On the way back to the way back to the hotel we ride around Juneau which is jumping with tourists off the three HUGE cruise boats moored in the harbour.  Coral Princess, Norwegian Pearl and Radiance of the Seas.  Juneau is a very pretty small town which obviously thrives on the cruise ships visits.  A rainbow appears as we ride along it's just beautiful it gets bigger and bigger until it arcs completely across Juneau. 

Back at the hotel I cook us a pretty awesome steak dinner which goes down well with a nice Jacobs Creek Cabernet Merlot.  I was pleasantly surprised that the JC only cost us $7.99.  I decided to buy what I knew was good!

After dinner we take a walk through Juneau and it is completely deserted because the cruise ships have left.
