Today is Wednesday, July 25. We’ve been on the ship for a week. Last night was a rough one for Justyne. She got really sick as the waters were very very rough. We could not make it into either Red Bay, Labrador or Paamiut, Greenland due to rough seas. We hope to make it to Qaqortoq, Greenland tomorrow. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
Just so you know, many of these ports are not big and the ships cannot dock. We have to get tendered into port – meaning the ship is out in the water and we are basically “ferried” to the port. If the waters are too rough they will cancel the tender. That happened twice so we’ve been on board for 3 days without hitting land. It’s been OK for me but I think the kids are getting a little stir crazy!!!
Sunday, July 15, 2018 – Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, CANADA. Today was the best day of the trip so far. We landed in Cornerbrook and was whisked off to a restaurant for a Taste of Newfoundland. We were surprised with a singing trio who entertained us with songs and folklore of the region. Did you know Newfoundland and Labrador was its own country until the 1940s? They barely made the cut to join Canada. But, they are now proud Canadians. Newfoundland is also the 7th largest island that is not a continent. Population – 250,000.
