Another rough night at sea and was happy to be dock side today when we landed. We had a whole day to spend in Sisimuit and we made the best of it. We started out with a city bus tour. It didn’t last long because it’s not a big town. But it’s colorfu l and we learned that the colors of the houses each correspond with the owners profession! Red=fireman, Blue= fisherman…. And on and on.
After lunch we decided to go on a hike with a guide , who was Danish. It was pretty energetic and we walked thru so much mud to a high point and we could see the town below. On the way back I lost my balance and slipped into the mud, which was like quicksand. The guide was able to help me out. It was a six mile hike and part of the Arctic Trail system.
One odd thing is we had to walk them”dog town”, an area where people keep their sled dogs tied up until the snow comes. So so many dogs on chains. And puppy’s who are NOT chained until they are 6 months old.
