Oqaatsut- Greenland

 Atlantic Ocean-Greenland-Oqaatsut. This is a very small village about 45 mins by boat from Ilulissat. Enjoyable walk and the sunshine was crystal clear. Had lunch with local fish delicacies . The area reminded me of East Greenland. 

The post office had a sign outside and was part of the one and only shop. It is. hard to see here but a local postmark was applied. 

Greenland - Ilulissat

 Atlantic Ocean-Greenland-Ilulissat Another view of some of the  amazing UNESCO World Heritage site at Ilulissat. It looks exactly like this on the ground . Took a boat tour around this area. 

The recent issue of Europa with the common design and and the other stamp is something to do with local tattoos . Got a good postmark . 

Ilulissat- World Heritage Site - Greenland

 Atlantic Ocean-Greenland- Ilulissat  I have to say this was my favourite part of Greenland . Great scenery , wonderful views and just one of those locations I will never forget. It is the only part of the world excluding Antarctica that you will see the number of Icebergs and flows. Also a World Heritage Site. 

The Post office in this town was a 15 min walk from the centre. But was updated and new with a full ranges of stamps. No postmark unfortunately on this card. 

Nuuk - Greenland

 Atlantic Ocean-Greenland-Nuuk  Certainly not one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. This is the modern part of the city with higher rise homes. I guess it is the "Grey" look that is uninspiring . But one has to be practical and I guess it would look a lot more photogenic when the area is covered in snow. 

The stamp shows a local fishing in a small kayak . I did in fact see a few of these out around the local seas but I suspect it was with tourists. 

Nuuk - Greenland

 Atlantic Ocean-Greenland-Nuuk I have been wanting to visit Nuuk the small capital of Greenland for some time. A flight to from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuak which can land the large Aibus A330neo and then a Dash 8 to Nuuk. This is the main harbour and as you can guess it is mostly fish that is being exported here. The weather was surprising warm . 

Arriving on National day , all government business was closed. However next day off to the Post office and it was all you could want in a Post Office. Modern building with a contemporary   lay out. Best was the real seal skin benches to sit on. A good selection of stamps and friendly staff. The stamp on the left centre shows the national dress, I seen on the National Day. 

Greenland

Atlantic Ocean-Greenland-Kulusuk  This is East Greenland. Flew from Iceland . The Scenary is spectacular and great looking out of the plane as you come into land. This is very light populated part of Greenland. The village homes are all painted bright and different colours. Most houses had no running water and went to a nearby building for Showers . Intersting chatting with the locals who had could understand English and seeing their way of life. Enjoyed my stay here. 

The local Post office was not busy and in fact I had to go and find the official working there in a nearby shop. This card took about 3 months to get back to me, so thought it was lost, but made it at long last. Pity the postmark is so faint.
