The Dog Sledge Tour in Greenland, two days and 130 kilometres


The Dog Sledge Tour

The first waiting them to come with the exciting feeling, didin’t know, how all will go or do, how will survive with the dog sledge tour with my heart. The first few kilometres were a little painful, think, didn’t feel relax, but then all was okay.

The mountains were very beautiful. Saw the reindeer and some birds. Then we stopped for a lunch after passing a huge mountain, the feelings were amazing, think, going so fast down there, how it was even possible, the rope has to put under a sledge.

So the dogs could keep the distance even going fast, the driver want to be at the back, to keep the stones away. The sledge was jumping and had to be careful with the stones, passing this mountain, think, it was a wonderful feeling, how could pass those places, but trust a lot the drivers will know, what to do with the dogs and the sledges.

A short lunch was nice, a small cottage to us, it was to share a night there with a small group and make food.

We continued the journey with the lake, 25 kilometres long. It was the nicest place in this world, think so. All the white mountains the both the sides, a lot of the different kind of the rocks the other side. All the past times will be seen in the stones. Think, the ice age, how ita moved the stones, put marks on the rocks, it shaped the land, then all the storms, the cold weather, wihtout much rain, the plants were only very small bushes there.

Saw the hunters with the rabbits near the cottage, a lot of the rabbits they had got. Have never seen so many rabbits at the same time. They were coming by the snow mobiles her, they went away soon. Got the photo of the dead rabbits, some still looked like only the sleeping time.

The cottage was cold, then the men put the fires, the oil heaters. They started to repair the dinner, didn’t need any help. Was with the Danish ladies, we had the own room there, and it was really cold, but after the dinner, ate well, was tired, slept well, didn’t hear anything.

When was awake again, the room was warm, took some of the clothes off, continued to sleep more. After waking up again took the medicines with the water, and started to write, what had seen and experienced during the past says, think, still another day to travel.

The dogs were some fifteen per a sledge, think, the ropes are the different distances a little only and have to clear the ropes all the time, when stopped. So a dog was missing, went to the wrong side, disappeared, hope it is okay and will find to the home. The working dogs are not the petit animals, they can bite you, have to keep the distance. If they will be kind and come to you, they are friendly, but the first they need to make the own decisions, then you can trust them as they trust you.

They got a piece of the meat, and the own special food. They were tighted with a long gain for the night there.
