Greenland: hickups
I have to say my contact at Arctic Umiaq is going out of her way to facilitate my travel to Greenland, but it looks as if I will have to fly to Ilulissat—right over prime whalewatching country—and only spend two nights and a few daylight hours on board a ship.
The flying around inflates my transport budget by almost two thirds, or to what it would be if I flew Air Greenland, although that would not have included any boat rides.
But it’s either that or stay at home.
On the downside, there are several days stopover when I must secure a bunk bed or get permission to put up my tent somewhere—days during which I will also have to eat.
On the upside, I have an overdraft limit. And I may manage to chat up a friendly Dane or Inuit who wants to take me out in a kayak or something…
Now if only that pesky Yahoo email would work, I could resume my official discussion with the sales office. Grrr. As soon as I actually manage to dial up online (our ISP was out two days ago, then it was the local exchange…) the bloody Yahoo server freezes up. At this rate I might as well be in Greenland already!
