Beautiful photographs, gz! I once lived under the shadow of a rumbling volcano, in a land of many rumbling volcanoes. When it rained ash for a full day, I confess visions of Pompeii clouded my thoughts. It looks wonderful - what a great interlude in your life!!
It all looks beautiful. I'm quite jealous, of course, but it's good to hear that you're having such a good time with such good people.
8x160km... x 0.6 to get miles, = 768 miles? For fun?
Surely not? These people are crazy!
The Mac D's aeroplane, ah. One of my favourite machines, a Douglas DC3, alias Dakota. Built in volume during WWII, there are stacks of them still flying. A while ago I saw one flying circuits, it was a museum plane... http://www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/7795902780/lightbox/
You're right, I'm not sure what idiocy posessed me there. My arithmetic cells must have atrophied. I used to be adept at the km/mile translation, driving my little english car... well actually english registered french car.. around the kilometres of scandinavia, 0.62137miles + one Km, and 5 and eight, fifty and eighty... Amazingly, I was never ticketed by traffic cops for exceeeding the limit. But then, a renault six was hardly a ball of fire.
