Getting to see Ilulissat from a different side

After having the pleasure of sunny, warm Ilulissat for the last 3 days, I woke up this morning to the sound of rain on the window.

It's weird how the view changes when the clouds are lying heavily around the surrounding mountains. The light is much dimmer and little by little your body slows down.
There's a general consensus between the three of us here saying that today is a 'read good books, have coffee on the couch'-kind of day.

But. Before we could enjoy a day on the couch, we were going on a guided tour around Ilulissat. Yes, it might sound a bit strange that the guides are going on a guided tour.. But it actually makes a lot of sense.
In Ilulissat there are two schools, Mathias Storch and Jørgen Brønlund-skolen. Apparently Jørgen Brønlund is doing a project week this week focusing on tourism in Greenland. As a part of that the 8th graders are offering guided tours (in English) of the city.
We figured that it could be a lot of fun to see the city from the perspective of young people living here. And it was. Of course we knew a lot of what they were telling us, but spending 1,5 hour with these kids learned us a lot about the life in Greenland - things you can't read about in guide books.

Well returned to the house, the coffee is on and I'm on the couch writing this post.
My plan for today is to read an incredibly interesting book about a Norwegian guy (Børge Ousland) following Fridtjof Nansens journey from the North Pole to Oslo (unsupported). Inspiring!
And then I'll try to upload some short videos I made yesterday on a small hike in the mountains.

I hope you're all doing great!

Schüss!
