Wake of the Vikings: En Route to Nanortalik, Greenland
Suddenly everything begins to change. The smooth waves are gone, and the boat begins, once again to rock. We see more icebergs, or “ice-cubes” as our steward, Hilda, calls them.
The sunny skies disappear, and the thick fog returns. We are back in the North Atlantic. Glad I hit the spa during the quiet time :-).
We are supposed to land in Nanortalik around 2 this afternoon, and are able to get off and walk.
Wake of the Vikings: “Wake-Up! It’s Prince Christianssund Inlet”
AdventureMan wakes me early, and it’s perfectly OK. I’ve been asleep since about eight the night before. It might have been a little seasickness; I was down on level 1 having a massage and the heavy waves didn’t bother me, I liked seeing them crash, but for some reason, not seeing, and the smell of the lotion started to bother me, and I found myself breathing deeply and thinking I might end my session a little early. Fortunately, it was toward the end of the session and it finished and I managed to stay the whole time.
AdventureMan had ordered dinner – after massages, we like to just settle in, and Viking has a wonderful room-service menu. I really needed to shower, I needed to get this scent off me, it was making me uneasy, so I showered and drank some ginger ale, and felt much much better, only tired. I only ate the soup and salad, and went straight to sleep, sleeping soundly through the night.
When AdventureMan woke me, I was ready! And what a thrill, calm seas and gorgeous new scenery to start our day.
“Get dressed! Let’s go have breakfast in the Explorer’s Lounge!” he urged me, so I hurried, but we were not the first, LOL, we have a sturdy demographic on this ship!
The views are stunning, and change by the moment.
We spend a couple hours in the Explorer’s Lounge, and then it is eight and as the surf is calm, I need to see if the spa pool is open!
