This has been the most amazing journey so far and we find we are just living in the moment, enjoying each day as it comes. Apart from route planning and deciding where to stay the night, we’re really just going with the flow.

And as far as route planning, even that is pretty vague. We had planned to follow the Alaska highway to Alaska, but wild fires forced us to change our route and we were glad of this, as the Stewart cassiar was amazing, and remote.

Then we got onto the famous Alaskan highway, and got talking to a random guy at the Yukon sign. He asked which way we were going to Alaska. I thought there was only one way, but it turns out there is another.

So instead of following the Alaska hwy through Whitehorse, we have decided to turn off and head to Skagway in Alaska. From there we need to catch a ferry to haines, then we’ll have to .drive through Canada again, before getting to the more accessible part of Alaska. Confused? But the exciting bit is, we get to catch a ferry through some of the inside passage.

Today we visited the smallest desert in the world, saw two bears, and two moose. We are also camping at the most incredible camping spot overlooking a lake, surrounded by big mountains. And it’s free!

I stayed up late and it was such a surreal sight as it was still daylight at 11.30 pm. I watched the sunset And went to bed.
