Ketchikan to Hawaii via Seattle

We left a cold and wet Ketchikan and flew into Seattle for a quick changeover and flight to warm and sunny Hawaii. 6c to 28c, quick a difference!


The flight in and out of Seattle was spectacular and the volcanoes 100km to 200km South of Seattle were quite a sight. Photo shows the volcanoes Mount Rainier (closest) and Mont St.Helens on the RHS,( remember the big blowup a while ago) while another volcano Mt. Adams, (yes, 'Adams' Yvette), could also be seen.






We have a good view of activities happening out on the ocean off Waikiki. Surfing, paddleboarding, the submarine trip happening, (we went on that a few weeks ago), sailboats and cats. We enjoyed a swim and relaxed on the beach.




Can you believe the cost of this huge ice cream??.....................................$1.95!!

One more full day of our holiday left and a special 'end of holiday' meal tomorrow night.

Cheers

Jeff

  1. Woah, bargain ice cream!

    How cool to see Mount St Helens! I remember reading about it in the library in High School. The pictures were AMAZING! I studied them hard and that fueled my interest in geology. It was so amazing that one side of the volcano just blew completely away! I always thought of volcano eruptions as just being lava, but St Helens was just ash explosions.

    Enjoy your last meal!
