... the crates into their car park, provided claw hammer, screwdrivers etc and sorted out the mess we left for them for nothing. By 10am we had the bikes started (all the concerns that the tyres might have been deflated, emptied of fuel/oil etc were all unfounded – we literally had to swing a mirror back in line, put the top boxes on and then start 'em up. As we were still ahead of schedule we cancelled the second night I’d booked in the hotel and cracked ...

... and Gordon and Mama talked to each other up front.
Once in Anchorage we suffered through the usual -- lost luggage, interminable wait for the rental car, getting lost trying to find the hotel. We finally collapsed at 10:30 pm (3:30 am Washington time) without dinner in a room filled with the eternal sunshine of the North.

“ Caribou Inn, ”
Reviewed May 30, 2009
In the morning, at the Caribou Inn, as I actually looked around the room, there was a sign in the bathroom stating to pull hard on the faucets and if you couldn't get hot water, to try the opposite way on the faucet as some of the plumbing was backwards - I couldn't help it, I had to take a picture!

Then I noticed that at least I would be safe in the shower, the little non-slip fish that some people put in the bottom of the tub were even on the side of the tub! I'm a terrible person, I completely acknowledge that. Anyway, LJ's only comment about the 'breakfast' part of our B&B experience was "I'm guessing you want to eat somewhere else?" I said yes and we left the Caribou... never to return... I hope.
