Alaskan cruise - Juneau, Alaska

Our third stop with the capital city of Juneau, Alaska (day 5 of the cruise). The only US capital city in the mainland that can't be accessed by car! We didn't arrive until about 1:30 in the afternoon (after visiting the glacier), so our day there was shorter. We walked to our Turo rental car downtown a bit. Then we drove to Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center to learn about the glacier. After watching a video about it, we walked in the sprinkling rain for a mile down to a viewing area where we could also see Nugget Falls. It was amazing to see the glacier so close. We then walked back before heading back to the ship. Everyone wanted to be back in time for our 5pm main dining room reservation. Since I was still full from the last dinner (seriously, so much food), I took the car back after dropping off the crew at the ship and ate a light dinner on my own.
