We’re playing bingo. It’s a great time. Oh yeah. Everybody wants to join us for this one. It’s a classic. [Applause] [Music] Yes. Yes. Yes. Good. Very good. It’s easy running from the land directly into the ocean, particularly in the kind of southern half of the Great B Reef as we can see here. [Music] The fluff. Oh, now you’re appealing to every generation. Wow. Come on, Gary. Come on, Gary. Hey, they’re shooting up here, Gary. [Music] So the last wealthy Romans developed a taste for exotic um importing ingredients from across their empire and beyond. What turned out for King Neptune’s crossing ceremony? Never seen the video so busy. Here ye hear ye land lovers of high and low degree. Today we pay homage to King Neptune, the father of the sea. Fishes, turtles, mer people, and all creatures of the deep. I have told him of our coming which woke him from his sleep. They cried as they entered your domain with vile poliwogs on board who do not acknowledge your reign. King Neptune rose from his seaweed fed and proclaimed that all on board to the sharks be fed who do not be a claim. Then taking up his trident and boarding the flowing stream, he hurried here to meet up as a sign by mer people and queen. All rise for King Neptune. [Applause] Let’s bring out our final victims. All of them. But they paved the way for so many generations to come after them. And I want to give a big shout out, folks. Do we have any Vietnam veterans joining us in this moment? After 8C days, we are finally sailing into Naha Okinawa. Looks nice. Uh there are 47 prefectures in Japan. And uh Okinawa is located south uh west from the uh 1,500 kilometer. This is the Peace Memorial Park and Museum. That’s a big beautiful place. Fire. We don’t need a This memorial has both uh American names and Japanese and British some others. Now we’re going to the Japanese Naval Underground headquarters. First we’ll see the museum. a little cry. So, wait. [Music] The sun is up. It’s a lot cooler this morning. We’re on our way to Hiroshima. We’re surrounded by beautiful islands. We arrived in Hiroshima, but almost docked. This is the Peace Memorial Park. And there’s the famous dome that mostly survived the atomic blast. This is a Hiroshima Castle that was destroyed during the war and rebuilt afterwards. We’re sailing into Tokyo. There’s the airport. It’s Mount Fuji. On the other side of the ship is downtown. It’s big city. Some very active flying fish here by the beach. Took the complimentary shuttle from the ship a few blocks to the train station and then walked a few more blocks over here to the beach. They have some great architecture here in Tokyo. They have a nice skywalk going along the bay here. See, if that’s the Statue of Liberty, then that must be the George Washington Bridge. Transformers are here. It’s a really nice walkway they have around here. [Music] This is my afternoon excursion. We’re on our way to the Gardens of the Imperial Palace. [Applause] The palace grounds make a really nice big park here TV broadcasting company. [Applause] as a family. Big round of applause for incredible violins out here. We’re sailing into Hakodate this morning. We should be there soon. There’s a lot of markets right here by the ship. All right. Live squid. Very nice. It’s easy to walk around Hakadate. I walked about a kilometer across the ismas. It’s nice long beach over here. It’s too cold to swim, but it’s still always nice to walk along the beach. Our afternoon excursion brought us to the top of uh Mount Hakodate. There’s our cruise ship. There’s the ismas that I walked across this morning to get to the beach. We love L. Yes. And then so those are cherry. We’re headed to Muro this morning. That’s near Saporro. There’s a lot of snow covered mountains. We’re docked in Ouru. See ski slopes over there. Walking around Uro just a couple blocks from the ship. It’s a nice city. There’s the ski slopes. Traffic signals here make a funny sound. It’s like a bird. I made it to Ouru Park. Still snow up here. We get great views from up at the top of the park all around. Cruise ship should be down there somewhere. This is an interesting looking place.

[Music] We’re surrounded by beautiful mountains. I know. We’re in Alaska now. Almost to Sewward. Took the free shuttle from the cruise ship just a short distance into town. Uh coming over here to Seward Highway and Derry Hill Road and I’m going to walk around to Two Lakes Park. Oh wow. I’ve just been following this trail from one waterfall to the other. Really can’t get lost. I’ve taken a different way to walk back to the ship. There’s trails all along the shoreline and the park and a marina. We’re almost to Juno, of course. It’s beautiful. We’re docked in Juno. There’s the Gold Belt tram. I’ll be going up later. I’m about to get on the tram, go up the mountain. Is a clinkage word for the mountain house. We are ascending 1,800 ft above sea level on the only aerial tramway here in Southeast Alaska. Gold Bell tramway is owned and operated by Gold Bell Inc. [Music] There’s a snowy trail that goes uh little ways above the tram. It’s a It’s a nice little hike. Well, the tram was well worth the $50. And they have a great little visitor center down here at the bottom, too. Time to go walking. I had an interesting look around the state capital. I observed the Senate for a while. It’s a lot of artwork in there. This nice humpag well agreed to pose for a selfie with me. We’re sailing into Ketchacan. There’s a tunnel and the statue and the Ketchacan sign. Over there is Creek Street off the ship. I was here last year, so this year I think I’ll just hit the highlights. Start with a statue, a ketchin sign. Next, I’ll head over to Creek Street. Here’s the famous Creek Street. I like this end of Creek Street with the rushing water. After Creek Street, I wandered over here toward the tunnel. We’ll go through there next. Sun’s about to come up and we’re almost docked here in Seattle. It’s been a great 29-day cruise. I love seeing uh Australia and Japan for the first time, but uh I have four more cruises booked this year for Europe and South America. I’m looking forward to those next. Bye.
