On to Ilulissat

Got up early for breakfast. Checked our luggage with the airline and then went to sleep in our room until boarding. Not many places you can do that!
Quick flight (less than an hour). The views out the window as we landed were amazing – icebergs everywhere. And a sled at the airport!
Our hotel (the Icefiord – a view of the ice fiord from every room …) picked us up. World of Greenland (who operates all the tours we went on – or at least should have if we had not messed up yesterday) said we were REALLY far away. From the map it looked about a kilometer. Which it was. But I guess it was also one of the farthest distances in town!
The town of Ilulissat is much bigger. About 5000 people. Twice as many dogs, we were told. We walked back to the hotel past the sledge dogs. It was sort of sad – they were tied up. I guess resting during the summer. The puppies were loose and they came to see us though. They were SOOOOOO cute.
We got some snacks at the local store for lunch (everything is totally expensive). And our tours got all moved around (everyone in Greenland is so nice – they worked it out so we could do everything since one of the tours only has us in it).
So Tuesday night we went on the boat tour to some small town. The ride was great – awesome views. Once we got to the town it was sorta eerie. No people. Lots of sledge dogs. Attacked by puppies again (held one – his buddies grabbed my scarf – then my backpack). We did find the H8 Restaurant – had a great meal. Froze on the way back. The tour lady was nice and gave us a ride to the hotel. Amazing how bright and sunny it was – at 10 PM. Love the hotel – and three nights without changing!
