The first morning in Alaska

So the next morning we wake up.
I switched on the hotel TV and they were displaying some travel programs from Alaska itself.
Nice landscapes and breathtaking views.
Never knewing that my destination for today is the same Seward Highway.

So we started from the local roads of Anchorage, slowly we reached the main high way which leads to Seward High way.
There were train tracks beside our car roads, which means by all means you can take a train ride and just watch the amaising view.
Our destination was first Portage Glacier and later we will rest the night in Seward.

So , we kept on driving not knowing when we already reached the sea of mountains in front of us and I was totally engrossed into the view.
   I have never in my life time had seen such a speechless view. I had no words to say.
My Ashiqui 2 movie songs kept on playing on our Toyota Corolla..and I kept looking and looking at the huge mountains in front of me.
 I took as many videos as I could take in my iPhone and as many similar pics possible in my DLSR camera.
   Not to mention , insisting my husband to stop the car in many places to take as many close up shots as possible. I bought a tripod just before leaving for Alaska. So with that I could take as many pics of mine and not bothering my husband for it and complaining that I was not happy with his pic.

We finally reached Portage Glacier


We reached right on time when a cuise was about to set off.
I quickly purchased the tickets and set off to view the glacier.
It was a 4 hour cruise. There were a lot of people previously occupiying all window seats, but ours wasnt bad, though we had to go out of the deck to view the glacier closer.

Yes it was magnificant , I cant express myself, drop dead gorgeous.
It was cold but I just couldnt leave that and sit inside , I was out almost all the time witnessing the view.
I have taken as many views possible and so many pics, so I dont leave out any memory.
Also, my husband probably filled his iPhone totally.
It was beautiful.
