Nearly Nuuk

We should have been on Nuuk Greenland today. However the weather had other ideas as a storm rolled in so we couldn't get in to port or more importantly get to leave it. 
So another day at sea it is.

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.

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.

Another day at sea

A quick breakfast before getting an appallingly bad score on the trivia. We have won about 5 packs of cards so far so can't complain... much. Then we went to a q&a on how a cruise ship works  Followed by a talk on Eric and Leif Erickson by the expert. He new his stuff but he just wasn't engaging. Lunch and then a talk from the NASA rocket man. He was engaging and told the story of the columbia tragedy. We had another long chat with Simon B. Cotter the comedian.  The evening entertainment was the return of the magician and the contortionist.
