Hvalsey

Paul had a nap after lunch and woke up in time for us to go ashore with one of the last groups. Fortunately, there weren't many mosquitoes to bug us - they forgot to bring their families and friends!

Hvalsey is a Unesco World Heritage Site with the ruins of a church and farmstead. Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hvalsey for more information.

We had a walk to the ruins and then up a small viewpoint where we could see more ruins below. From there, we walked up to a ridge and down to more ruins - a stone enclosure, likely to hold sheep or livestock.

It was a beautiful area and was well worth visiting.

A young woman joined the ship in Qaqortoq to be our Unesco Heritage guide and will be taken back to Qaqortoq later this evening on our way to towards tomorrow's stop.Meer informatie
