out early and beat the crowds - the ship is carrying 2,000+ passengers, and
this town only has a population of 3,200. Spent a couple of hours here and
headed back to the ship as the masses of people were heading over in the
tenders to the village.
According to the propaganda, one can be "tricked into thinking that this is
a sub-arctic Riviera, a special Greenlandic version with icebergs in the bay
and frolicking whales in the fjord, instead of sandy beaches, palm trees and
over-population". No amount of hocus-pocus would ever have me thinking
that.
Spent the morning exploring the town, which looks somewhat like a Lego land
village, with its' colorful, square houses and apartments. This town even
has a hotel that they claim is a 4-star establishment. I was amazed by the
number of vehicles in the village - in Greenland, one can only reach another
village by boat or air - there are no roads connecting them,
The highlight was at the fish market, seeing the whale meat and blubber -
was not tempted to take a taste.
