SKAGWAY, ALASKA, USA

Skagway, Alaska is a Port prime for tourist! There were 5 other cruise ships the same day as us. We had an early start on them as we were docked by 7am, but downtown was packed by 11 a.m. The downtown resembles the days of the gold rush era. Full of shops and restaurants all vying for your tourist dollars.

Sadly the afternoon turned cold and rainy, so I didn't get in much more sightseeing than this odd fellow below!

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
