Sept 14,2025: Sisimiut, Greenland(day 12)

Today Tibor went on a hike and left the ship as soon as he was able to and got back on the last tender.

I walked around town to see if I could purchase a sweater but they were either very expensive or but they were either very expensive or made in China instead of Greenland. I did find an headband made from muskox wool. It goes with my muskox wool hand-sleeve that I got earlier in the trip. Both were made by local women. The excursion staff noticed them right away and were excited I got them.

In the afternoon I went on a boat ride to Nipisat Island (a UNESCO site).

When we got back it was time to pack, have a last dinner at ‘The Restaurant’ and get ready to leave our cabin by 8am tomorrow morning. “The Restaurant” is a specialty restaurant on board that has “a daily rotating menu of regional and destination-inspired cuisine”. We have gone a couple of times and enjoyed it each time.
