The 5:30 am breakfast made for a very short night after going to a new London hotel after midnight. We were at Heathrow again by about 7:00 am for our 9:00 am flight, but just like last night, our departure time came and went and they had not yet posted a gate for our flight. It just kept saying "Please Wait" - exactly what it said last night before they cancelled the flight. Finally a gate was posted for our flight and we had a smooth and clear aired trip to Iceland.
The Hotel Reykjavik is a very nice, modern hotel. There is no trace of volcanic ash in the air or the streets. The students were so tired that I don't know if any of them went out shopping or exploring. Tomorrow morning we have a school visit and in the afternoon we take a bus tour of the Golden Circle. Hopefully there will be some pictures of the students and the landscape.
From what I've seen on the news it is hard to believe you don't see any volcanic ash. It was certainly an impressive plume...wonder where it went?
