Out of the blue Sunday night we received a call asking if Fran and her “crew” would be interested in doing a walking tour of the town [with tourists] Monday morning.

So Fran and her “crew” did. With all the oohs and arghs over, how beautiful Siutik is, was dispensed with we took in an interesting [for the crew at least] 11/4 hour walk covering about ¼ of the town [had to be back at hotel to check out and board the Wanderbird].

The dozen tourists were from Canada, England, Huston Texas and two from Costa Rica. The highlight for the tourists was when we peaked the hill overlooking the town. It’s not the highest vantage point but time constraints and all you know. I think they enjoyed it and learnt something, I know the crew did.

Nice to see the weather forecast proven incorrect, we did not get the rain with possible thunder showers last night; it is clear as a bell out there this morning.
The brand new cruise ship Prince Albert II arrived in Hopedale yesterday. Hopedale put on nice reception for the passengers plus a very big display of arts and crafts for sale.

I'd love a tour of Nain, maybe you and Fran will oblige one day?
