Expedition - Day Nine

Start: n/a
Weather: Cold and cloudy (with patchy rain).

It was a slow start this morning – in fact it turned out to be a non-starter!

We started with good intentions. We used the sat phone to re-book our flight to Copenhagen. We now fly on Friday the 11th August 2006 @ 2300 with Arctic Tours. It lands in Copenhagen on the 12th @ 0800.

This gives us nine days to get back to Kangerlussuaq – plenty of time, so we decided to take a day off!

It’s in this downtime that you eat, sleep, read, chat (about nothing really) and think. I spent my thinking time planning my next adventure. OK this one didn’t quite go according to plan, but you live and learn. The seed of a plan has now been planted (thanks to Matt) and is already growing strongly in the fertile sludge between my ears.

In the evening we played a game of name that tune – Alistair and Matt provided the tunes!? After which Matt and Iain planned a night out in Copenhagen.

The day then slowly fizzled out.
