Later, Koningsdam! Since it\u2019s so easy to forget the day of the week on vacation, they change out the mats in the elevators daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop after disembarking from our floating hotel and entertainment center was a motor coach tour of the town. Which doesn\u2019t take very long; the touristy area is only nine blocks long by two blocks wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have one main grocery store. Deliveries come weekly. Today is fresh produce day, tomorrow is frozen food day. This is a very expensive place to food shop; a dozen eggs or a gallon of milk is $8. Later in the week, shelves are empty of many staples. Lots of bartering and trading of provisions happens. Locals adapt. That\u2019s Life in a Northern Town. You\u2019re welcome for the earworm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, our driver took us about halfway up White Pass Trail and a couple miles across the border into the Yukon Territory. In its early days, this trail was only one of two ways to get to Skagway by land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chilling with a warm beverage in our hotel lobby before heading out for a bite. Drizzly, foggy 52 degrees when we arrived, now sunny and about 60 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diane and I are in agreement that NY\/NJ\/FL aren\u2019t the only places to go for great pizza. Yeah, yeah, we know, we traveled 3500 miles to seafood heaven and got pizza for lunch?! This little Italian\/\/Mexican restaurant in Skagway knows how to make a great pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasty dough, really flavorful sausage, and lots of soft melt in your mouth mozzarella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pastry resistance: Alaskan Fried Bread. Imagine the best funnel cake you\u2019ve ever had, then douse both sides with cinnamon and sugar. Another winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walked about the town, checked out shops, back to the hotel for a nap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder if residents ever take these views for granite? <\/DadJoke><\/p>\n\n\n\n
