Day 7 - Homer to Girdwood

The arrival of the following morning meant our departure from La Caleta. Willie picked us up around 9:30 as agreed and dropped us off in Homer. We walked around The Spit for a bit doing lil shopping and bonding with local dogs that ruled the area. After that we hiked for a while on the local beach and had the best lunch and pastries at the Fresh Sourdough Express – the owner was the best, we truly liked all the Alaskans that we have met up there… very genuine and nice people.
Leave it to us to find the only winery in Alaska – before we left I found online the Bear Creek Winery in Homer… and of course we couldn’t miss out on wine tasting in Alaska… yeah… if you are thinking they can’t have good vineyards up there you are right… but they adapted and they are making their wines from berries. The wines were lil too sweet for our taste but it was a great experience just the same. We couldn’t miss it. Slightly drunk we departed for Girdwood (about three hour ride that Skoda slept right through… too bad as they missed out on some spectacular views all along the highway.
