Mexico!

CCP is getting ready for the big Mexico trip.
@ 04:30 (morning) the bus leaves from CCP HQ to Keflavik.
From there we get our own plane all the way to sunny MExico if the volcano and weather gods permit. Keflavik was closed today, so everybody is waiting with anticipation for good news.

hopefully everything will proceed as scheduled and we will have 500 CCP'ers together in an amazing resort in Mexico, with free bar for 4 days :)

Expect pictures to follow.....

Even more volcano images

Fantastic video of the shock waves from the eruption.

More volcano links

It is really strange to be on the "good" side of the volcanic eruption. Reykjavik has sun and blue sky and all air traffic to USA is going ahead without any impact.


It is fascinating but also really humbling to be so close to one of the most powerful forces of nature.

Last day of the Easter vacation

Last day of the vacation today, but what a brilliant Easter this has been.
Thomas flew home to Denmark early this morning at 0700, so we got up at 0400, at that time Reykjavik was still busy partying. We didnøt get to see Mount Ejsa, even thought the weather has been sunny most of the time, it has been cold and we had 2 days of rapidly changing conditions, inclusive snow. Friday we had: sun, horizontal snow, fluffy snow, overcast...


But we still managed to do a lot.

• Saturday: Vegamott and unpacking the PS3
• Sunday: Shopping @ Kringlan and SuperJeep tour to the Volcano
• Monday: Work
• Tuesday: Work
• Wednesday: Hereford
• Thursday: Walk around the coastal line of Reykjavik.
• Friday: Chill out, Final Fantasy XIII and movie night.
• Saturday: Blue Lagoon, Apple Pie, beer at the English pub.
• Sunday: Breakfast at Prikids (The Truck), strolling around Reykjavik, movie night.

Pictures from Thursday's hike around the coast

Thursday we decided to walk around the coastal line of Reykjavik.
It is a really beautiful trip and I can highly recommend it.
