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.Weiterlesen
