Travelogues Greenland

With the old Toyota pickup, I am driven to the dock on the other side of the hill. At approximately 4 km, not really far, but the path here is more like a sea...

The hostel operator takes me to the dock in the morning, where the boat is already waiting. The helmsman has passed the waiting time by fishing and lets me try as well,

After the highlight of Ilulissat and Disko Bay, we will now head back south for almost a thousand kilometers.

After a restless night (the ferry tilts quite sharply), I wake up abruptly: the captain announces our arrival in Maniitsoq. Quickly thrown into my ice jacket and out I go.

And once again: fits!

Outside the town, we found many small huts with huskies.

In heavy rain, I set off to the harbor; the strong gusts of wind even turn my umbrella inside out. Not exactly the right weather for a small boat journey of nearly 50 km...

One of the highlights of the trip were the icebergs in the Disco Bay, which we saw up close with a small boat.

On the way back, we will stop by Nuuk again, but this time only for three hours, from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM. Not great for museums, but it allows time for a quiet breakfast, without...

Finally, after three long and weatherally challenging days at sea, we arrive in the port of Nuuk at night. The morning after, we are greeted by the familiar weather of the last...

We heard a lot of personal stories from our city guide in Qaqortoq.

As announced before, here comes the blog post about the absolute highlights of our stay in Greenland. It's indescribable how we can keep telling each other every evening how...

The long day ends in Narsarsuaq, an airport once used by Americans in the 1950s and 60s. It was later used by Denmark and Greenland until Qaqortoq opened in April 2026...

Once again a rough night, spray reaching the window. But now, at the entrance to Diskobay, the Bay of Icebergs, calm sea - and: icebergs! The giants can already be seen on the...

After the extensive breakfast, here are the first pictures you've been waiting for. Just without text for now; I'll have more time tomorrow.

One highlight of our trip was the journey through Prins Christian Sund in Greenland.

Today we said goodbye to Koh Samui and headed to the quieter neighboring island of Koh Phangan. But first, we have to tell you about our highlight. Joe was actually able to...

It is 7:30 a.m. and the alarm clock goes off. Our tour to the local mountain is supposed to start at 10 a.m. The view from the cabin window indicates that the weather has...

One week from today: off to Qaqortoq! How? Not a clue where that is..?

Yes, (very slim) Wi-Fi on the plane.

We organize our onward journey. You get your sweaty laundry washed in Asia. You can get provisions at 7eleven - and there are lots of bizarre things there too! In the pharmacy...
