A Voyage To Greenland

A voyage to Greenland Greenland is the largest island in the world, but it is not a continent I looked up Nuuk the capital up on the YouTube; it is now a modern town with supermarkets and even cafes. I was there fifty years ago. Back then it was a rather primitive place with a million barking dogs and drunk people on the dirt roads, they used to hang dogs slowly so the hairs stood out and it was exported as pelt one hopes this practice has been outlawed. I remember the coastline it was bottle green and for once, still, we went fishing in a clear stream so transparent and shallow but when we waded over to the other side, it was so deep we could have drowned. It was the coldest bath of my life. Greenland was beautiful, but it was then not a place to remember with fondness, except for the trout we caught.

Hello Jan Hansen you know not many people would think of going to Greenland. You did to see what it was like. I have always wondered what it is like there. You have seen an area no one else would ever see. Have a nice day my friend.
