Wednesday we were supposed to fly out to Narsaq but all flights cancelled. Lots of people were stranded, including a nice English marathon runner and a group of Austrian hunks who were heading to hike across the ice cap.

Trip to South Greenland via Copenhagen. Got caught up on the way back with the terrorist plot to blow up planes from the UK, but didn't have any problem going through Heathrow, London.
