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/

Keep the blogposts coming!

soub, your maths are out....
5miles = 8 km
100 miles = 160 km !!
The Pirate says that there is a DC3 at Ardmore in NZ

Andrea...we don't, but we have no choice....but we'll come again as often as we can!!

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.
