Although this page has “Vancouver” in its title, there are no photographs of Vancouver in here courtesy of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull. Three days before we were scheduled to fly to Vancouver, the volcano started erupting and most of the flights to and from much of northern Europe were cancelled for the best part of a week.
The day before we were scheduled to fly, we hedged our bets and booked a return Eurotunnel crossing to Calais. Later that day our flight was finally formally cancelled. So on Friday evening, we cancelled as much of the Vancouver holiday as we could before planning a new holiday pretty much from scratch.
After a couple of hours of heated debate, we decided to book a) an overnight stop in Reims, and b) three nights in Zermatt, which would take us up to Wednesday. We’d then review our options and see what we wanted to do next.
