Blue icebergs!
This cove is between Qaqortoq and Alluitsoq, where Simon lived as a boy. Karl told us that if you were nearby and a storm was coming, this cove would keep you well protected.

This iceberg was unusual.
An enormous shelf of an iceberg. How big must it be under the water?!
A very small settlement on the way to Uunartoq, and the glorious hot springs.

What a view!
Three generations...
Tashi with swim shorts in hand. Excited, but with not really knowing what awaits us.
Wow! I think this is the most spectacular place I have ever been!
With some trepidation, Tashi ventures in. ..
Hey it's pretty nice in here! The temperature was perfect.
(Getting out was cold!)
Well soaked and blissed, we then went to Simon's boyhood home of Alluitsoq. When Simon lived there, there were around 70 inhabitants in the summer, and 40 in the winter. There are now 2. An old couple Christian and Theodora. They still keep sheep, grow food in a garden, and keep the church in pristine condition.
Rowing to shore for a brief visit, before dinner and bedtime on the boat. Karl stayed in their home, seen at the top right of the picture.
Hello Alluitsoq!
