After having the time of my life with my buddy Splash, eating piles and piles of fried bologna, and all of the fish and beer you could imagine ;D. So after stuffing myself and partying until the wee morning hours, Splash finally dropped me off at the Gander International Airport, after exchanging some final laughs and good advice from Splash for my trip i took off in the early morning hours (5PM) to continue my flight to Hopedale (CYHO) in Labrador where i'm meeting a guy for some extra parts i need to fix my plane, i had it partly fixed last night($1500) :(. So i hope this guy has a good deal for me :D.

The sun is slowly rising in the east :D

Beautiful lakes and hills over Labrador

Finally found the Hopedale airport in the middle of nowhere 8)

Landed safely and parked at the only parking spot available at this small airport (if you can call it that). I met with this guy called Pete and he had the parts i needed for my plane. Pete told me that there was no gas station here and that i needed to have some brought in with a truck, lucky for me i had my cell phone with me, he's delivering the fuel in 30 minutes. That gives me some time to call my wife and tell her about my progress so far. Then when i'm fueled up i'm leaving for Lake Harbour in Nunavut :D

Hope you still like my trip ???, more is coming ;D. Happy flying

Man, you are in scarey territory now, Ludo.  Pretty desolated up there, but SAR is flyin' out of Goose Bay, so you're still in safe hands
Fly Safe My Friend
