The Theatre district is right next to China town, so we ate Vietnamese pho for lunch and Indian food for dinner…. Most crowded China town we have even seen lately
After dinner we ran into National portrait gallery and it’s another cool gallery that is free for all…… The museum tour guide is very unique
What a long and fun day….. Everything exceeds our expectations… Thank you London for being so special and captivating 🙏🙏

6/5/25 Ketchikan Alaska, salmon capital of the world
We have been blessed with great weather so far until today..but all is good
This port is also a revisit, so we are going to take it very easy today….. Nothing planned except a crab feast at the famous George Inlet Lodge
First we visit the Historic creek street to see the picturesque wooden buildings that stand on stilts above Ketchikan Creek.
So on the way to George Inlet Lodge which is 16 miles away, we were surprised with a orca sighting by the bay as well as couple of gorgeous waterfalls
To think that we are in the salmon capital of the world and did not eat salmon… No regrets though… We will come back for the crabs…..
