Here we are back in good old Anchorage after all. We needed to stay another night on the glacier because the plane could not fly (it rained in the afternoon). But the next morning it could, taking us out to Talkeetna. There we ate the biggest (and fattest) burger of the world and afterwards went to Anchorage by taxi. Now we spend a couple of days just doing not too much and celebrating 4th of July together with the Alaskans. If time allows, I will spice up the blog with some pictures. Stay tuned, you will find the link to the whole set of pictures here on the blog in about a week.

Thanks to everybody supporting us and reading the blog. It was always good to here from you.

Greetings to all back home,

Roland
