    Chasing the Aurora

    Went on 'Northern Lights adventure' last night. Six hours on a coach, and we saw a vague grey glow behind a cloud, that could have been nothing or the moon, or a distant light. If they hadn't pointed it out, you wouldn't have even noticed it. No colour or movement. Pretty sure it was the Northern Lights though, because if they were faking it, it was a pretty poor effort. Nothing like the brochure pictures, and apparently it was a 'good' night, so feck knows what most people get to see.
    Ah well, if we hadn't seen it we'd have wondered what we were missing.
    Boo.

    Enjoying the rest of Iceland though!

    Try it at altitude, maybe in a Tornado, and don't forget your pasta!

          Get them to tell you the Icelandic joke!

            Waiter, there's volcanic ash in my soup. I know, it's a no-fly zone?

                Heard stories about it being uber expensive- how much for a decent meal for two + vino?
                How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  Not unless Iceland have annexed Norway in the last few hours.

                    You'll see them from Skye plenty fine, speaking from experience like.
