Good for East Greenland - By: Lara, 17 Jul 2007
Just come back from East Greenland (Kulusuk & Tasiilaq), & considering that this is an area that is not reallly set up for massive amounts of tourism, the book gave a good idea of what to expect.

The recommendations for accommodation were excellent, & you could tell that the author knew & loved Greenland & the Arctic.

Possibly could have done with a bit more warning on Greenland time, which is basicallly the theory that you should just ignore the specific times that you are given, & expect everything to happen up to 4 hours after you were told it would! Oh, & the general lack of a sewage system did come as a bit of a surprise, but we may just have missed that part of the book!

Prices are now a little out of date, particularly for flights & helicopters, but where we stayed, the prices for food & accommodation were spot on. Could do with some guidance on day-trip pricing, as this turned out to be quite a bit more expensive than we'd been expecting.

To be honest, without this book, I'm not sure that I'd have made it to Greenland, as I previously had no idea of how to get there, & the guidance in the book was invaluable.
