Greenland Tours
One of the most interesting trips that I made is what I started with my brother Vanni in December 2002. Parties by car from Italy to Monaco in germany for the SAS flight to Copenhagen at a time where we spend the night in the transit hotel, hotel where the rooms are leased to ore.Poi below for Greenland airbus 330 with a brand new arrival in Kangerlussuaq , where we stayed 2 nights at the local ostello.Qui feeling magica.Trovarsi in that place where few go. a bit for astronomical prices, some because there is no one ever tells you not to go, for example, we will Siao because I had gone 2 free tickets, otherwise the only cost they would have preferred to do a tour of mondo.Purtroppo but the return ticket from Kangerlussuaq to Nuuk the capital about an hour flight, we paid the price of a Milan los angeles 13 ore.Comunque, seen as we then went With hindsight we can say, money well spent. In Kangerlussuaq, where international flights land, from the window, hostels, I've enjoyed dozens of take-offs and landings of aircraft red four-dash deavilland canadese.la construction company, of course Greenland, red, because if an unscheduled landing occurs in the snow or ice, are easy, then, detectability, 4 engines, rather than 2, because given the short tracks, you have a better brake motore.Il phone work around all the villages (remember that here is denmark) On tour with off-road toyota , organized by type accommodation, you lasted about 4 hours, definitely unique and indimenticabile.A noon from the summit of a hill, the guide showed us the sun on the horizon, then the most 'in' a walk on pak, ice hundreds of miles east and north, ice blue and different colors, we climbed the hills with large scivoloni made only more ghiaccio.Qualche km inside there is a track where Wolkswagen is to test their auto.Loro are d 'summer, but during the winter 2 guys who live in heated containers, must remain to keep the track viable, therefore, these two unfortunate, will die of loneliness, cold and chissa' What 'the paga.Ma who glielo ago do, and that some 'better than having the death penalty in the USA or life imprisonment. On the way back we stop next to a glacier with very beautiful colors, then to scrap a small plane crashed jet war, a small fragment is now in my dashboard where I live in Versilia. We spotted an Arctic fox and musk ox oakx or musky, Vanni says that is part of the family of goats, this is roughly half as' cow and with many hairs on the cold, they often remain trapped in the ice and hooves there are dying, failing to obtain the most cibo.Le crows are all over the world I go, in Australia, to Inuvik in the north of Canada to Svalbard to the land of fire, and of course in Greenland. At the expensive restaurant at the airport, after eating meat from musk oakx Vanni decide to buy a bottle of wine (I am teetotalers) but, although it is good, and if they 'repented bitterly then seen the price of around 100 euros, but if it is doubly regretful the next day when he saw him at the duty free at 30 euros, only 50 meters away from the restaurant. Just outside the waiting room of the big blocks of ice we were impressed, 1 wide and 3 meters high lunghi7, cut them with the normal chain saws with the blade and long as the light of day in November last about 6 hours, illumination was given by lighthouses that dot the ice from there to just be used to build a small hotel for tourists, with plenty of bedside tables, mattresses, tables seats glasses made of ice, just as they do in Lapland, then disbursement at least 200 euro to sleep in the cold night. He forgot, we also tested the thrill of sit on the roof of the toyota and go on the ice of a lake. What impression then, when in silence they felt the cracks which have been going on for hundreds of meters, causing a noise oltretomba.Ha, of course, the guide will alert not to throw the cigarettes cicca perterra wherever we are, if not ancha us because we prefer money spenders on trips rather than in droga.Lui yes, smoking and keeping an eye on, then we have seen, that actually the corpse of his cigarette lodged in the pocket. There 'a village to the south by the name funny, and I always named him Vanni, Quaqqortoqq, I wanted to visit just for the name. I do not seem enough to visit (maybe) the only time in the Greenland and only go in one city ', then with considerable spennaggio portfolio, fly to the capital Nuuk, hoping that there is the sun and we can do whale waching ( Whale-watching). The first four red lands in a track that I think is long as my garden at home, of course, icy runway, we are down per20 minutes Sisimiut and so also at the airport following Manitsoq before reaching a dark Nuuk.Con a taxi, walk the 5 km that separate us from the city 'Here, the devices can also be used on a frequency fm and therefore as the CB, which is a key talking crushing with another device but only if he' s exact frequency. The only hotel at low prices and 'yet, the hostel, but this has a particularity, and' occupied by a person who has made the great room with 7 beds in a castle owned by placing clothes hung to dry, his personal things everywhere, odor of smoke and ashtrays filled Vabbè, face Vanni says, we should spend only 2 nights. Surrounded by a meter of snow, after the temperature was around minus 15, not cold for the locals, accustomed to minus 40, we take a walk for us as we imbaccuccati cars immaginare.La boat for the sighting of whales that am not starting for the failure to achieve the number minimo.Mannaggia.Allora unna we decide to walk to the port the same. All large and small boats were covered with snow and colorful on the sides of red ferrari, luckily the sun and the clear vision plays there, the only one with his dog paid a visit to his boat, not come out at sea, pity we could make a move. demoralized then we are back on the pier to the town when a 'man, this time an Eskimo, is to his motorboat snow, I will try with him, he speaks little English, but we do capiamo.Vorremmo a ride boat with him and see the whales, paying of course. The type and we nodded along with him. We were happy for them, but then thinking about it good to go with a randomly chissa where we could not go back even more, in 3 minutes and six morto.Il type 2 provides soppravivenza orange suits that wear like, in boat there's wind chill, we are the only ones to leave the port that you giorno.Dopo full of gasoline and ammunition for the 2 rifles (including li 'we thought, now we shoot and throw us in water) starting at All gas and the scenery of the mountains of the fjord, with the colorful houses of the city ', the water flat, and' fantastic. At the risk of ice hands I filmed everything with my panasonic mini dv. We go for about 15 km north in the fjord, we see e'un, and little by little, we understand that the Eskimo there wants to make out, and 'friendly and gentle with us, everything seems magico.Montagne the sides with immense glaciers illuminated by the sun and reflections of enchanting beauty, the water unpolluted naturally colored blue, some iceberg contour, all of a sudden the type tells us to look for a red boa that had made the day before, found it, s
