Iron-grey sea, low gray clouds, constant drizzle... Laura and I are finding ourselves very much at home already.
We arrived in a fug of exhaustion last night, to the point where neither one of us could remember the way to the hotel lobby this morning. Thankfully, Laura's description of hotel rooms in America turned out to be pretty spot on and we each had our our own double bed to recover in. Oh, and the room has its own Mr Coffee. Heaven.
As for the journey itself, well, it's a long one, and it encompassed a mad dash through Minneapolis airport to catch our connecting flight (90 minutes is more than enough time to get through US immigration they say, pffft) but we did get to see some great scenery including the Rocky Mountains.
There are no plans today beyond collecting our car and finding somewhere to eat breakfast, but finding the tourist information office would be fairly high on the list if we had one. No photos as of yet as we arrived just as it was getting dark, although Anchorage Ted Stevens airport has a stuffed moose in its lobby, which may be making an appearance soon.

Stuffed moose
Will the stuffed moose be making an appearance in your photos or in person my dears? Did you dream of moose' coming to get you during your first night's sleep? Sure looks surreal and well, Alaskan so far. When are the Northern lights on the agenda? Want a whole blog dedicated to those darn beautiful lights please . Keep safe- miss you both . Clarey xx
