We stayed overnight at the North Star Inn, in luxurious quarters (towels and coat with slippers provided, SAT-TV in each room). On each floor there was also a kitchen and a common room with wide-screen TV. Even my mobile phone was working – and I sent messages to Canada and Austria together with some post cards from the Greenland post office. I took a long walk on the base and made some pictures – it feels quite Danish here and there is a Danish police station together with European road signs. Most announcements are in Danish and English, some in transcribed Inuktitut(?).<\/p>\n

Departure tomorrow is at 9 am, a bus will be waiting at the inn for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
