Good morning from Prince Rupert Canada.

Went for a hike on the Butze Trail in the Great Bear Forest. This hike was just over 3 miles round trip.

The rapids was our halfway stopping point. From here there were two choices - go back the way we came on the easy trail or proceed on the more difficult route. All of us but Matthew chose the easy way back when we heard there were hills that reached 45* uphill. Here's the views from the route Matthew brought back.

Dinner time - tonight was Chef's Table. This is a multi course experience led by one of the chefs who has been working in Carnival galleys for over 20 years. Also, a short tour of the galley is part of the experience.

First off, the menu:

Then we started with the Lobster and Crab and the Carbonated Rock Shrimp

Followed by the Double Marinated Beef and Pao De Queso

Next up was the galley tour and a presentation by the pastry chef on how to make the Chocolate Melting Cake

Back to the table to start the main parts of the menu

A surprise bread course that wasn't on the menu. Two types of sour dough bread and a pairing of butters. One was caramalized onion butter recommended for the brown bread and the other was a truffle butter recommended for the white.
