Sauna On the Moon

Hello everybody. We skated over England's worst rain in twenty years to Scotland where the weather cleared up nicely. We sailed over the Atlantic again in smooth air hoping to fuel in Iceland and get over to Greenland. After a great landing and fast fueling we found that Greenland is closed on Sunday so we hunkered down in Reykjavic for the night. We managed to get out of the city this time and soon found ourselves in the middle of the most barren, desolate, black rocky terrain I have ever seen. As the sun sllooowly sank into the horizon we saw huge columns of steam rising from the geothermal hotspot we were travelling towards to hit the local spa. The Blue Lagoon was full of milky blueish whitish water and tourists from all over. The steam caves were great and we indulged in silica treatments. Nice! The weather looks great for a touchdown on U.S. soil tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. Keep your fingers crossed that the forecast holds.

On the way home

Hi friends, We are in scotland the land of wind and rain. Last night we were in northern spain also very windy and rainy. Somehow we ended up in Santiago Spain. Our plan was to continue on the Ierland,but the prehistoric flight planning department had other ideas. By the time our flight plan was approved the airport we had filed for was closed. By the time we left the airport to go to our hotel we had spent 5 hours in the office. Don't nock the Cameroonians until you check out santiago.Well we are getting plenty of bad weather flying experience.Tommorow we are back in the survival suits for the north Atlantic.We are hopeing to leave for iceland/greenland in the morning. Some how the trip home seems a little longer. We are looking forward to seeing freinds and family back in the good old USA.

on our way out

Today we droped off our new friends in central cameroon and headed for Benin. I was realy Quite an easy day. Yes we hagled with a few officals, but that is old hat by now. We are staying at a nice hotel with a pool and plenty of AC. In the morning we are flying back to the Canary Islands via Mali, 1700 mile and 8 hours of travel.We ahd a woulderful time hepling out the doctors of this most needy of continents. I have to say that a part of me is looking forward to the west. mainly the part that likes clean jet fuel and runways with not goat crap. We will not soon forget the wounderful people we met and the work that they do. I bet the canary islands sounds very good to you folks in Denver. Randy
