After lunch we tender into town and walk along the shore side street down to the Namgio Burial Ground where many of the Kwakwaka’waka chiefs and their families are buried. It is very interesting to look at, but all the information about the meaning of the totem markers is only found at the Museum. But the Museum is closed on Mondays which is a disappointment. We have run into this in other smaller towns....it seems to us that if a town, especially one that has limited attractions, has a cruise ship visiting, the town would want to put its best foot forward and have its tourist attractions open for the visitors. We run into several others that feel the same way.
The town is very attractive and is pleasant to walk around but there really isn’t too much to do. Some hiked across the island and said it was a nice active hike. There were also the two Seabourn Adventures, but we didn’t talk to anyone who did either of them.
Back on the ship we have cocktails and go to the main dining room for our last dinner. Many of the crew are leaving soon and it seems tonight there is a lot of short timers syndrome as the service is really off. We are seated by 7:15PM and order two courses. It is nearly 8PM before we get our salads and 8:45PM before our main arrives. We eat a lot of bread sticks!! This is the only time the food service has been very poor, it is just unfortunate that it is our last night.
Back in the room the moon is out and the big NCL ship from Juneau is just ahead of us, we sit on the balcony for awhile and watch the shore slide by. Compared to the absolute no light from the land for the last 11 nights, it looks like Christmas along the shore line now. Off to bed. We have an early day tomorrow and Carolyn is still under the weather from her asthma.
