On a side note: Several years ago, that Volcano almost cost us a very expensive "Cruise Ship" Holiday. All week I was watching the News and Weather and finally accepted that this particular Holiday was just not happening. At the end of a very stressful week I got a phone call from the Travel Agent, saying that Gatwick Airport had re-opened for flights.
Can you imagine the excitement and panic? when I told my Wife that we had to go pack and get to the Airport in less than 3 hours. Somehow me made it , and was an amazing Egyptian Cruise.
Heya mate, I'm late to reply.
Wow, you live near that area? Despite the Volcano butting in, it's nice that you've managed to make the trip.
Seeing the show, I wondered why people live so close to active volcanos. Economic reasons were the answer when I looked it up.
