Despite many trips to London, I had never made to short trip to Greenwich before today. Greenwich has a long maritime tradition back when Britannia ruled the waves. This ultimately lead to Greenwich being the location from which all time on Earth is set.
I have returned to the Westfjords region of Iceland and the small town of Grundarfjörður where I was able to visit some awesome waterfalls.
We have returned to Iceland on our way back from Greenland. This gave me a chance to do a few things I missed on my first visit. A beer at the colorful Irish pub I found last time and a boar ride out to see some puffins.
While I was not born in Tasmania, I consider myself to be a Tasmanian thanks to the time I spent growing up in Tasmania and the history of my family as Tasmanian pioneers. The following is a summary of my direct ancestors and the connection we all share with Tasmania.
Prins Christian Sund is about 100km long and separated mainland Greenland with an archipelago of islands. Six glaciers extend from the Greenland ice cap into the sound and its adjourning system of fjords creating some of the most amazing secenary I have seen anywhere.
Qaqortoq was the largest town we visited in Greenland. Being more than just a fishing village/cruise port, It offered a more diverse view of life in Greenland.

Cork is Ireland’s second largest city and home of two of its most famous Irish Stouts – Beamish and Murphy’s. And the place is filled with hundreds of Irish pubs to serve to serve the stouts.
My second visit to Falmouth gave me one more chance to enjoy life in Cornwall. I split my time between a beautiful walk along the Cornish coastline and the charm of Falmouth itself.
Rollover day at Southampton provided just enough time for the 30-minute train ride to the seaside town of Bournemouth.
