......and we planned to go this year so this is it, leaving NZ for a 6 week hoon to Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada then home for a break
Ironically it has been warmer in Iceland than Wanaka by some 10 -13 degrees every day.
Luckily we booked and paid our tickets end of March then Eyjafjallajokull did the burps 14th April so we are covered if it turns to shit!
There are several other larger threats as well, Katla is the main one that has potential to do monumental amount of damage and make Eyjafjallajokull seem like an unwanted wet fart.
So no motorcycling for 6 weeks, my therapist said it should not take too long to get over it, I was gonna hire a bike at various stages but in Sweden etc I would have to part with my left nut and Canada remortgage the house ($1000 kiwis for two days)
That is 1 1/2 sets of tyres here so it will have to be a bike free holiday.
Anyway, we leave Thursday lunch to Auckaloafa then on the tin bird north.
We will have internet access along the way so will post a few pics with a trip report or two on our big adventure (albeit without handlebars).
