One week of Labrador

On Sunday August 29th, 23 we are ready and would like to take the ferry to Labrador at noon. We buy a ticket and get into our prescribed position on time. Everything turns out to be more difficult than planned. The ship is late and unloading takes a very long time. When the loading begins, we are still in good spirits - in the end we are still standing when the ramp closes and the ship leaves. When the usher takes off her high-visibility vest and gets into the car, I ask what's going on here? She just says in a friendly way that the ship is full and we should have our ticket changed to the 6 p.m. ferry - Ok - Ok, we'll do that. We wait until 4 p.m. and stand at the front. Finally, the ferry comes. We stand and wait - That's what we had Have we already? At the very end we are let onto the ship. Campers are not that important? After 2 hours, it is now dark, we arrive in Labrador/Quebéc and stand in the pouring rain on our previously chosen parking space. Despite the rain there is A walk on the beach in the morning.

We visit the highest lighthouse in the coastal region, L'Anse Amour. Nice to look at. There are also coaches and souvenirs here, as it should be.

The next day we set off on the Expedition 51* route, which leads hundreds of kilometers through the country. It's not like you know it from the A5 towards Frankfurt, for example. No, in 300 km we meet around 8-10 cars and 2 overtake us.

The first stop is Goose Bay, a former military airport and today's Labrador airport. There are few roads, so flying here is like taking a bus. The flight museum is also nicely done/everything international

Another 300 km lie ahead of us the next day to Churchill Falls. We have no network at all. Tourists can rent satellite phones for this tour. There are hardly any houses on this entire route (almost 1000 km). Unfortunately, our chosen parking space for the night (OVERLANDER app) is no longer allowed for motorhomes. It's a shame, a lot of things are forbidden for us here, despite the fact that it is such a large, pristine country or perhaps because of that. Of course we find a place and the next day We reach Labrador City. Here you can shop again and it's not so lonely anymore. After the city, Labrador is now over and we are in the state of Quebec. We stumble from one time zone to the next. There are now 6 hours between Germany and Quebec.

Now we are in the French corner of the country. We are treated very friendly and we feel comfortable.

Oh yes, there really are bears here - we saw some

See you soon
