The news sites are all talking about the volcanic ash that’s shut down Europe’s air traffic. Bus, train, car rental and taxi companies are doing great, as people like John Cleese take a taxi from Oslo to Brussels.
Now they’re saying that the ash cloud might hang around for months. I’m wondering what will happen to our Beijing trip, which is only a month away.
Yep, I had to take a car from Estonia back to Luxembourg. Managed to fly over on Wednesday last week and got stuck. By car it took *only* 30 hours!
You know, if the alternative is to cancel the vacation, I’d almost be willing to sit in a bus for 30 hours… Almost.
