Somewhere near Porcher Island; exact location not known. But there's blue sky and smooth water, and a mountain top disappearing into clouds. Life doesn't get much better!
Prince Rupert Ahead! We passed a large grain terminal before reaching here.
More of Prince Rupert. The tall building is, I believe, the Howard Johnson Hotel. We weren't staying there, and didn't much wander into town, so can't say for sure.
Disembarking at Prince Rupert. A bus was waiting to take us to our hotel for the night.
The Klondike Express at rest at the wharf. We did a U turn to end in that situation, as we approached, and departed, from the left side of the picture.
We checked in to the hotel, and had some time on our hands before it was time to eat. So, photos first up!
View from my hotel room, looking over part of the town of Prince Rupert.
Looking to the left of the above image, showing the inlet with our boat.

A monument to lost mariners. The inscription reads:
And with that, Kelly and I returned to our hotel for a good meal and good night's sleep. This would be our last night in Canada.
Gil Island to secret inlet
