18 days on the MS Roald Amundsen. Cruising 3rd July - 19th July 2023

18 July, Day 33, No place like Nome.

 Yep got to Nome on schedule. Luggage now on the way to the airport. 

Nome is the most famous gold rush town in Alaska—home of the last great gold stampede in the history of the American West. In the early 1900s, Nome drew people to its shores from all over the world.

But also know for the Iditarod race.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, more commonly known as The Iditarod (/aɪˈdɪtərɒd/), is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome, entirely within the US state of Alaska.

We just found it a frontier town.
























After lunch we boarded a plane back to Vancouver. Hurtigruten charted two planes just for us.
