Every (volcanic) cloud has a silver lining

How about this volcano in Iceland, eh? It has a bit of a hissy fit and the world’s aviation industry goes into a tailspin.

I’m meant to be going to Istanbul on Monday. The plan was to start there and then head into Iraqi Kurdistan. From the look of things that trip is dead in the water and country number 100 remains as elusive as ever.

There is a (slight) upside though. Nick Danziger is stuck in Jerusalem. He’s meant to be giving a talk tomorrow at The Adventurists Tea Party in Notting Hill. If he can’t make it to London I’ve been asked to step into the breach and give a talk about travelling from London to Sydney without flying. Which is kind of appropriate.

I won’t know for sure until about 10 am tomorrow. But if you’ve got nothing to do and you find yourself in London you should pop along. Regardless of whether it’s me or Nick giving the talk, there’s free Windhoek Lager on offer. (After you’ve paid the admission, of course!)
