It&#8217;s now day 20, September 2, 2025, and my watch indicates it&#8217;s Tuesday. Today we have a rest day, which is a welcome change after eight days of hard work. We&#8217;ve already covered a distance of 31 kilometers and have about 160 to 165 kilometers left.   <\/p>\n<h2>A Well-Deserved Rest Day<\/h2>\n<p>On a rest day, we don&#8217;t do much, similar to a lazy Saturday or Sunday at home. Instead of getting up at half-past four, we could sleep in today. I woke up around half-past seven in the tent I share with David. Michiel is in another tent, and Ronnie and Susana share the third tent. We spend the day eating and relaxing. The food for such a day must be consumed, so we can eat whenever we want. For example, my breakfast consisted of a bag of chips. Of course, we also have to go outside occasionally for a bathroom break, despite the windy conditions.       <\/p>\n<h2>Minor Repairs and Culinary Indulgence<\/h2>\n<p>A rest day also provides the opportunity to perform minor repairs. Today, I repaired the seams of my glove with dental floss. It&#8217;s important that such an expedition is not only challenging but also enjoyable. We treated ourselves to a &#8216;food tasting.&#8217; Although it was just a plastic bag from a day meal, we enjoyed goat cheese, young cheese, hardtack, nuts from Noten.nl, and sausages. A fine treat!     <\/p>\n<h2>Winter Adventure Fair on October 4<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of food tastings, you can also participate in a tasting during the Winter Adventure Fair on October 4. Derek-Jan Fransen from xfoods.nl will be there to organize a food tasting. Mark this date in your calendar! Besides the tasting, all guides from Arctic Adventure will be present to explain our winter and summer trips. I will personally give a lecture about this Greenland expedition. There are opportunities to set up expedition tents and receive explanations about our expedition stoves. You can also get training advice for winter expeditions like this or trips to Norway or Sweden.      <\/p>\n<h2>More than just Adventure<\/h2>\n<p>During the Winter Adventure Fair, you can also purchase clothing at great prices from the Boelbouwer. Northern Delight provides catering with cinnamon rolls and Danish Delights. For those who wish to stay overnight, we offer a delicious campfire-cooked dinner and a tasty breakfast. Mark October 4 in your calendar and sign up via the Arctic Adventure website or through this blog page. We hope to see you there! Finally, we&#8217;ll enjoy the last candles before we continue descending towards Point 660 tomorrow.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On day 20 of our Greenland expedition, we enjoy a rest day with repairs and culinary indulgence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[311,498],"tags":[307,486],"class_list":["post-25850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-greenland-2025","tag-expedition","tag-greenland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
