Our second Greenland day was spent in Qaqortoq. We had received information about points of interest and hiking routes. A Canadian couple from our dinner table group took a boat trip out to get up close and personal with the ice bergs. Unfortunately, we are not so young and spry anymore, so contented ourselves with walking up to the Qaqortoq Hotel and Conference Center in hopes of finding some locally brewed beer. Alas, no local brew was on tap; but we were told we should be able to get it in Nuuk.
It was at dinner that evening, as we sailed away from Qaqortoq that the Captain announced we were ditching Nuuk because of threatening weather reports. So we never got any Greenlandic beer. The Captain did appease the disappointed but adding Halifax as substitute port. In Halifax, we shared a flight of 13 locally brewed beers. It was a good thing that the brewery was directly opposite the gangway of the ship
