Ísafjörður

First day in Iceland and we docked in Ísafjörður. We had a walk around but it's not very big and not much to see. 
Then we had a trip booked to an abandoned village. This was and hour away by small boat. Quite windy and suddenly very wet.
The village was abandoned in 1952 if I remember. Just not enough people living there to be viable.
We were guided around the area. Then a quick snack of Icelandic things. Back on the boat to the ship.
We suddenly came across some whales.
So a definite win.

After we missed Nuuk, Simon was furious he wasn't going to get to Greenland. However the seas calmed and we dropped anchor in paaimunt, Greenland. This meant tendering rather than walking. So we set off. We landed and it was a lot like Wales. Green, mountainous and very very wet. It rained... And rained And it rained. Eventually we were soaked complete and returned back to the ship.
