Doing prep for the evening in the morning. "Can you help me? Or do I need to "persuade" you!"

Aftensmads-madlavning om morgenen! Vil du hjælpe mig? Eller skal jeg "overtale" dig...?

On Sunday the team went on a hike up to Store Malene or Big Marlene from where you have a fantastic view over Nuuk, the fjord and the surrounding peninsulas and islands.

Om søndagen tog holdet op på Store-Malene hvorfra man har fantastisk udsigt over Nuuk, fjoredn og øerne omkring.

Harita, Suren and in the back Niels our guide from the local running club.

It was rocky and some section even a bit icy.

Der var mange store sten og is ...

Great smiles.

Det er sjovt... på en underlig måde..

The mountain across the bay from Nuuk. The one we did not dare to climb.

Bjerget som man ser på den ene side af Nuuk. Vi turde ikke op på det... måske næste gang...!

Endnu engang .... en meget smuk himmel..
