Eyjafjallajökull

[winter]

So, on Saturday I have Ryanair tickets that were supposed to take me to Edinburgh to see a certain bearded Welshman in a certain adaptation of a Victor Hugo novel. I also have a mini-coach trip booked to Skye while I'm there, and generally a week of entertainment all planned. (Oh, and picking up my Maki Ichiro Sayonara Book of Doom). Right now Monday flights are decidedly cancelled - and everything else is up in the air because the bloody volcano is still spewing out dust. I am very, very annoyed.

(On the other hand, according to his Twitter, said bearded Welshman is currently stuck in Egypt... lose/lose?)

I don't know my geography nearly as well as I should, but is there a way to go by train? I heard about someone getting a five-thousand-pound taxi from Oslo to Brussels, so I'm in the "anything is possible" state of mind. >_< this whole volcano business sucks balls, man.

Pre-cheap-airlines I visited England twice via coach, but each time it was 24 hours from Warsaw to London, and train wouldn't shave off more than 4 hours off that - add at least four more from there to Edinburgh by train, or nine by coach. Not to mention the expense :(
