$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep2) - Anchorage/Hobart

It's north to Alaska and the biggest city of the biggest state in the USA. We start our larger than-life tour at Chilkoot Charlie's.The legendary bar's best customer is a bit of a legend himself, not just for his six toes on one foot, but because in the summer months, cabbie Larry Reed is a full-fledged, albeit part-time gold miner who knows 27 blackbears by name at his cabin in the woods. Larry explains how the city got its name, spots the first seagull (a harbinger of spring), and takes us to meet the unofficial mascot of Anchorage, a pet reindeer named Star.In these parts, reindeer is game, and though our traveller is game for reindeer sausage, Christmas will never be the same. Next we're off with our cabbie Maree Abbot to Hobart, Tasmania, an island state off the southeastern tip of Australia we meet some orphaned kangaroos and wombats, and experience the most intriguing attraction a Tasmanian Devil.
