July 1 – NOT Paamiut, Greenland, but another day in Nuuk

Weather – 10º
HOT TUB!!

Steps – 14,665

Northness – Paamiut would have been 62º, but as we’re still in Nuuk…64º (Calgary - 51º)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

Yesterday was the day to see what there is to see in Nuuk. Today we planned DIY day in Nuuk.


I finally dragged myself to the gym…not sure why it has taken me so long this trip…seemed like something else always got in the way.

By about noon, we were on our way to

reindeer

Nuuk Centre, the mall where the brewery is – it was about a 10 min walk. Unfortunately, the brewery is closed Monday and Sunday. Yesterday, we knew everything booze related was closed, but hoped would be open today…nope. Oh, well. We walked
musk ox

to the mall anyway and checked out a couple or grocery stores. In the grocery stores we found reindeer and muskox! We also found the fish jerky we tried in Iceland, but by now that’s old news to us – it was very expensive.

We came back to the boat for lunch and then spent some time in the hot tub. I’m not much for hot tubs but figured it might be a nice way to spend the afternoon. It was both…hot and a nice way to


spend the afternoon. We met a couple from San Diego who we chatted with for a while

After dinner we played a name that tune Canada version put on by the Canadian cruise director. Guess who won??? Of course we did! With a score of 14 out of 15. We were pretty sure the other teams would give us a run for our money, but

midnight-ish

nope…the closest other team has 11 out of 15. The only one we missed was Robbie Robertson’s, The Band. I’m super familiar with Robbie Robertson, but not so much with the Band. Chris figured he should have known it, but me…no way.
3 means we won the most points

Blogged outside as icebergs passed in broad daylight at 11:30 - wow!
