Anchorage Port Tour

Nice day last Sunday so we took the tour of Anchorage Port, where 90% of Alaska's imported goods come through. It was built in the 60s and now needs considerable refurbishment. They are adding another 65 acres to the site, nearly doubling the size. The tour took us all round the docks area, and they were loading a Pacific-going ship at the time, as you can see in the picture above. There is no such thing as a free lunch, but we did get a free hotdog in the viewing area.

We finished up with a free shuttle back to the town centre, curtesy of the Ulu Factory, who have a shop near the docks area. There we went round the Anchorage Market (bit touristy for us locals!) and had a coffee and giant cookie. A nice cheap way of spending a Sunday morning, which is how we like it.
