The Grand tour of Greenland from south to north

13JUL: Day hiking trip around Igaliku
Map of Greenland - Grönlandsresor
Day 3

The wonderful area invites us to do a guided hiking trip north of Igaliku to a fantastic vantage point with a view of the Qooroq glacier and the icecap in the back ground. The Qooroq glacier produces no less than 200,000 tons of ice every 24 hours! On the way we pass a small lake where there are excellent opportunities to find moonstones. It is also possible to do a lot of other hiking trips – for example to the roaring waterfalls or Nuluk hill.

Monday 13th of July 2015 and I woke up around 8 o'clock, almost 12 hours of sleep. I was not happy as I really wanted to have a shower but I was for sure not going out to one of the “common” showers. I got dressed in the same clothes as yesterday and I went for breakfast. My group left for their hike and I bought a 24 hours internet pass and I returned to my room.

I updated my web page and I went for a shower as I heard that they had finished the cleaning of the showers. I left my hotel for a constitutional Yet another Smiley on www.aladdin.st around the settlement.

I don't call it a village, it is a settlement and if you’re interested in how a Greenlandic settlement looks like, just have a look at the below pictures

There was some organ music from the green house that I could hear over the whole settlement
No one is working around here so what else to do?

Back at the hotel

Back at the hotel and I returned at the same time with a guy from Denmark. He had been out collecting stones and we had a look at his stones while enjoying the sunshine. It was a Igaliku Country Hotelbeautiful afternoon, I think the best day since I left Bangkok.

I was getting hungry and the dinner situation was not better than yesterday and I left the dinner having decided to come back little later when the people had left.

No way am I going to sit in this military canteen with people all over the place leaving no room to eat. I went back to my room. Our Guide was on my door all the time worried. He offered to bring food to my room. I told him that I would be back later on when there were some space at the tables. He was soon back Igaliku Country Hotelwith water and I told him to take a chill pill. I would be there in 10 minutes or so.

When I went for dinner half of the guests were gone and I got my seat and I had a very good dinner. The food have been very good here. Well, we will leave tomorrow and I asked for a 7 o'clock wake up call for tomorrow. We will leave at 8 thirty and we will walk to the harbour where a boat is waiting for us to take us to Qaqortoq.

We will make a stop to have a look at some Viking remains on the way and it promise to be an interesting trip. Whales? Who knows? You just need to click HERE to find out?
