Alaskan Pictures

We went to Alaska in June 2005 . This was taken in Seward, Alaska. We basically backpacked up from Anchorage and had to walk about 2km with our backpacks to our hostel, Moby Dick hostel run by a German family. Lovely cool weather, nothing much to do in Seward. We went for a whale watching cruise, went to the Alaska Sea Life Centre in Seward. You can check it out at http://www.alaskasealife.org/.

Besides that Seward has some small souvenior shops, little shops here and there, nothing super exciting. We basically chilled out and relaxed.

We had at least 2 meals in this place. Its hard to find cheap food to begin with and even harder to find Chinese food, so we were in luck! Cheap Chinese Food , pretty delicious too! For like US$8, all you can eat.



This artsy cafe called Resurrection House which serves really nice coffee and cakes. There were art pieces on display and for sale. You could play games to pass the time since there wasnt very much to do in Seward.

We took walks around Seward and there were these little jogging treks where there is a possibility that you can bump into bears and other Alaskan animals. Happened to see this sign, rather near the sea.
This is the Ressurection House from the outside.Horned Puffin. So cute!
