As many of you know, I somehow got sidetracked on my home from Mongolia last year and instead of turning left I went right. No, not some female lack of direction just a desire to see the sea. And as I live on the Atlantic Coast in Cornwall, I thought it would make a nice symmetry of the trip to reach the Pacific Coast, and anyway it's only a couple of thousand miles from Mongolia. The result being I ended up in Vladivostock and wasn't strong-minded enough to resist the lure of the ferry to Japan. By which time it was too damn cold to head home across Siberia, so I found a freight company and asked for the cheapest destination heading east - which is how Thelma ended up in Los Angeles.
I headed home for Christmas, and to save more money.
Six months later and I re-joined Thelma. Flying over North America I spotted an amazing landscape, with no people, just thousands of lakes and a narrow yellow strip running through it (some sort of dirt road), the plane followed this track for quite a while and I didn't see a single building or vehicle.
That's the place for me I thought- checking on the airline video map, I found out it was Labrador.
Arriving in LA I informed my friends there that Thelma and I were heading to Labrador. The general response has been
"Where the hell is Labrador?"
And so I find myself on another long trip - this time looking for Labrador.
