We're not scheduled to arrive in St John's until noon and we dock right at the pier in town. There's no rush getting off today so after breakfast, I work on the blog and we let those in a big hurry exit the ship first. When the rush is over, we leisurely disembark our ship and walk into town. There's not much here. I looks to us like any other small city. We walk two block into town, turn right two blocks, another right and we're back at the ...

It's another relaxing sea day. I don't remember much about this day, not because I was drunk or asleep all day. I didn't write anything because I was busing finishing up the previous days in our blog. Yes, I was behind and needed to catch up. Since today was just a "sea day", I concentrated on cleaning up earlier posts, adding pictures and writing details missed in a few entries to prepare for sending.

In Nanortalik polar bears sometimes pass by on the field ice from East Greenland in the spring.   Of course, there’s a main street in Nanortalik which is the focus of act...

We arrive in Qaqortoq, Greenland, at 8am to a beautiful blue sky, the first we've seen in many weeks. A few icebergs are floating in the harbor, nothing huge but they're still interesting. The last time we saw them was in Alaska in 2011. We're here until 4:30pm and the cruise director suggests to everyone that we take our time to get ashore. "Avoid the initial rush", he says. We have a leisurely breakfast, then around 9:30 we report to the theater t...

Ahh. An extra hour of sleep this morning. We are cruising into the Prince Christian Sound which will take us from the North Atlantic to the Labrador Sea on the west coast of Greenland. It's a fjord that cuts between the southern tip of Greenland and islands south of Greenland. It is full of waterfalls, narrow waterways passing between tall mountains whose sheer cliffs rise thousands of feet from sea level to above the clouds, glaciers calving into the sea and...
