Glacier Bay, Alaska, USA
Full day cruising up and down Glacier Bay. Given that it was dreadful weather the last time I cruised up and down Glacier Bay a few weeks ago, am due a beautiful blue sky day.
You can imagine my sadness then when I look out of my window to see nothing.
Nada.
It’s a complete white out of low cloud and rain.
Utterly dreadful weather.
Sod it.
Can’t even see the sides of the fjord.
Yes, dear reader, that bad.
As you will see from the photos below.
The weather is not playing its part today.
Highlight of the day though is the evening entertainment.
Jason Lyle Black. A pianist.
A brilliant show and his signature piece is playing the piano whilst lying on his back with hands behind and above, so he can’t see the keys. Best though is the ‘Cheers’ and ‘Pink Panther’ TV themes. Note to self. Start learning these tunes. Piano teacher may be reading this and she’ll be nodding wisely and saying to herself…don’t run before you can walk…
And if that wasn’t enough piano, the ship also has a piano bar with not one but two grand pianos arranged back to back. Two piano players play perfectly in unison.
Has given me impetus to do the ‘P’ word.
Practice.
Can hear piano teacher on the other side of the world exclaiming to herself, “At last!”.
