To Pang and back

Pang was fantastic.
We made it up Duval, dined atop amongst all the inuksuit. Dad never joined us, but it was nice. The snow wasnt facing the sun, so we could walk on it with no problem, unlike when we were coming back from the river and dropping though every couple steps.

The view was great.
Obviously would have been nicer if it was clear, but the weather was not on our side. It never got above 1c, but realistically, if it had been any warmer, it might have been too warm to walk, and pretty sloppy. The only thing I would have liked to change would have been the wind. Honestly though, it was only unbearable on Monday. The other days it was pretty manageable.

We walked out towards the sound, and the landscape that away looks like a giant had been playing marbles with the boulders and didnt clean up - boulders scattered the slope. So cool, massive ones  too!

We also went down to a little "island" that mum used to play on forever when she was a kid, as she put it, many adventures were enacted on it. Then we made our way out on the tidal flats. The tide was out so we walked out to the real ice. The rocks and mud were speckled with clams and barnacles, and it smelt like the ocean, even though it was only ice.

Dad left on Monday because he was worried about not getting out in time today to make his connections south tomorrow. Good thing. Mum`s flights got cancelled on Tuesday, Canadian North didnt make it in on Monday either, or today for that matter. Turns out they never make it in, First Air makes it in everyday day, Canadian North is super hit or miss. I changed my flight and came out with mum yesterday on First Air (they made it in when CN said the weather was bad in Pang?)

Anyways I'm glad I did! Thomas and Patricia came by the hotel to say goodbye, then I went out with Pat to see James - not my little James any more! Met his little panik,oh my she's adorable! She spent the afternoon with Patricia and I, all I wanted to do was squeeze her!
Long story short - awesome trip! Planning to return in September!
