Qaqortoq Part II

This is the second article about Qaqortoq. You can find the first article here.

The first day in Qaqortoq I woke up to see... well... not much. A heavy fog enveloped the town, and if I wanted to see anything, I had to go there. Instead of going for a walk in the hills that seemed to have disappeared in the fog, I went for a walk around town. A town that proved to be a lovely holiday destination.
    
A museum and town in one
The centre of town consists of old preserved houses. Nicely kept, they are as colourful and pleasant to the eye as they are crooked and boasting with character. The beautiful harbour houses vessels of all sorts and sizes – from small dinghies and fishing boats, through yachts to large ferries and in the summer this scenic harbour is frequented by large luxurious cruise liners.

Qaqortoq Part I

After several weeks of routine it was again time to go on new adventures, and on Easter I allowed myself a seven days trip to Qaqortoq (JulianehÄb). On the days leading up to Easter, Kurt, my host and friend, arranged some accommodation for me through Poul, one of his friends in Qaqortoq. I booked a ticket on the ferry and waited anxiously for the big day to come.
