Oceans and Seas » Atlantic October 8th 2009

Fairly strong winds and surf through the night. I was rocked to sleep and enjoyed the movement of the ship. Some of the group did have trouble sleeping due to the motion. Went to bingo today - no luck, but Miche was a winner. ... read more

North America » Greenland » South Greenland » Qaqortoq October 4th 2009

Really enjoyed my day here. Qaqortoq’s population of 3500 is primarily Inuits with some Danes residing here. Judy, Diana and I walked around the small town. We spent quite a bit of time with an Inuit gentleman who makes jewelry from the rocks on the island. Saw lots of children out playing and went to a local grocery store. There were some unique items in the store, but much was the same that you see in the USA. Sat in front of a little café while some drank coffee. Started out to be a very cold day, but as the sun came out, it warmed a little bit. Nice day and nice people on the island. ... read more

Too much rocking 'n rolling on the high seas. Most of us went and saw "Angels & Demons" - excellent movie. No northern lights today. ... read more

Europe » Iceland » Southwest » Reykjavík October 1st 2009

All 10 of us went on a private tour of the Golden Circle. This tour was awesome and one of the best we have experienced. Our guide was in the Air Force in Iceland - went back to the states for a few years before Iceland allowed foreigners into the country. He got a call to be a radio/TV announcer in Iceland and has lived here ever since. He absolutely loves the country and loves being a tour guide. We got to see several things that others did not. We left the port around 10:30-11:00 and didn’t return until 7:30 p.m. Very long day, but a great tour. Some of the sites we saw included Thingvellir National Park (site of the ancient Viking and oldest existing parliament and annual reading of the laws during that period ... read more
