Sisimiut

I had a very late start today … my body was just screaming after sleep, so only got up in the early afternoon. This way I kind of missed the normal program, however had the advantage of going after the masses and essentially had all the attractions in town for myself.

We were sitting at the pier in Sisimut. Sisimut is the second biggest city of Greenland with about 5600 inhabitants. I made my way from the pier into town, with a first stop at the excellent museum. The museum is spread over an ensemble of old houses and covers all aspects … it reminded me of the the Den Gamle By museum in Aarhus, Denmark … certainly similar in style. From here I continued into town with its supermarkets, shops and residential areas – before making it back to the ship and getting ready for a last evening aboard.
