Chewing ash

They say the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull is over. For now.
I had a small group of tourists in the area on Friday and it was interesting. The eruption was much smaller than it has been for the last six weeks so the ash falling down on us was not so much. You couldn't see the ash but it kept trying to get into your eyes and when you opened your mouth and closed it again you were chewing ash. :)
My clients were happy. We took a short hiking on the mountain opposite the glacier. There was a fog in the area so we couldn't see much but it was enjoyable. And of course you experience the ash by chewing it and then we were walking in the black ash and it is like walking in wet asphalt. It sticks to your shoes.
