Posted on August 24, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning, we were at anchor off the picturesque little town of Nanortalik, and once again the day was clear and bright with nary a cloud in the sky. We had our breakfast then went to collect a ticket for the liberty boat.  We were given ticket #15 but as they…

Posted on August 20, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

It was with excitement that we woke up this morning and eagerly looked out of our portholes for our first glimpse of Greenland.  We had tried to go to Greenland on a cruise 10 years ago (June 2006) but there was too much sea ice so the ship, the Funchal, couldn’t risk trying to land. …
