This afternoon another walk was on offer; we took the bus to the outskirts of town and started walking.

We could already hear the dogs at this point – and soon realized, that we were heading for the area of town, where the sledge dogs are kept in their kennels for the summer – we were even lucky enough to witness a feeding.

We continued the street leading away from town … dog kennels were now turning into tundra. Eventually we reached a viewpoint with some view into the valley behind town. Here we turned around and made our way back – through dog kennel country – to the bus stop – and then by bus back to the ship.

When I got up this morning (no oversleeping this time), we had already arrived at the pier in Sisimiut. Sisimiut had already been on the agenda of my trip from two years back, so it felt a bit like getting back to a well-known place.

With around 6000 inhabitants Sisimiut is the second largest city of Greenland – and is a nice little city for a leisurely morning stroll – with a good museum, a church with a view, a fish market (that did not even offer fish – only seal and musk ox were available), an artisan cooperative selling local handicrafts, some supermarkets and shopping centers (anyone for a new fridge?) – – and of course the infamous stone & rock guy (making his living by selling – stones and rocks).

This all did sum up for an interesting morning – I made it back to the ship for a late lunch.
