Kimmirut...and more adventures in flying...

Today at my lunch time before my flight I was able to get a drive 'around' Kimmirut... to be able to take some photos!  Don the manager at the Co-op, where the hotel is situated above the store was also the cook while I had my short stay in Kimmirut!  It was fun to drive 'out' of town and see some of the scenery..so different from Pang, but so gorgeous still!


That cruise ship that arrived in Pang on Sunday(didn't blog about it)...where people from the cruise took photos of me, my friend and her daughter--ok soooo we were all on my friend's Honda (with her daughter) and my backpacked tied down to the front...perhaps I should have gotten them to take a photo with my camera? I honestly don't think about how to get from point A to point B...but a ride... without having to walk and carry my backpack... well that's a good thing in my book!! :) Well it arrived in Kimmirut just as I was leaving... and town filled with SOOOO many people.. and well it's heading to Cape Dorset-- So I've decided it's stalking me.... I think some day when I'm old and grey-- I will take a cruise like that and say... I remember the days when I use to live up here... I was a SUPER STAR! (or something as equally as cheesey as that!)



It was a fairly windy day in Kimmirut.  The weather has turned--and was COLD!! Hard to believe that it's only the end of September--my body is telling me like it's closer to the end of November (by 'southern' temps!)

The rocks are sooooooooo cool in colour!  had to take a 'close-up'! :)

.....this shows part of the road.... just a random shot from the air!


Here is the shot of Kimmirut from the air!... that BIG ship is just a tiny spec!!


Enjoy the shots from the air! And some other random shots----today I got to sit as close to the cockpit as I could... and really wish I knew what all those knobs and gadgets did! (flying lessons?--who knows..maybe?)

I was totally psyched to get this shot...and even the 'crazy' no smoking/wear your seat belt sign...came out the way it was! After I took this.. he turned around and said "you know I'm not that photogentic!" hmmm interesting eh?

And here are the pilots after my flight--just a quick 'snap' didn't even get it in focus..but strangely that doesn't make me sad! 

I could totally get use to this life of flying!!
Yep that's right... I think I'm hooked... if only I could get use to sleeping in new 'hotel' beds every night!
