Copy and paste from my Fb Page, so apologies to those here who follow that page.
-----
Myself and Nick Miners are going to Iceland tomorrow for a few days, touring around the southern coast of the country.
I had intended to update my Facebook Page with images from each location I visit whilst there, but o2 has changed it's tariff for data roaming, because of this change I'll not be able to do the updating.
In it's wisdom o2 also doesn't consider Iceland part of the EU, which means that instead of being £3 per megabyte it's actually £6 per meg.
So, I'll be relying on any free Wi-Fi spots we happen to come across - which is likely to be only at the hotels we stay in (and even then not all the hotels may have Wi-Fi).
So I guess I'll only be updating you very sporadically at best.

So I'm likely to be non-existant here on these boards until next weekend.
I'll be posting images to my personal photo 'site as well as Flickr as well as Fb when I get back, so one way or another I'm sure those that care enough will hear about (and see) some of what I took place.

Wrap up warm now, both of you. And remember cameras don't like going straight from the sauna to the outside, ok?

Have a great time guys (as if you won't). I have no doubts you'll find ways to keep us abreast of what you're up to and i look forward to reading it.

I reckon that instead of going to the country called Iceland you're going to the supermarket which is also called Iceland.

I heavily suggest you dont update ATALL. WHATSOEVER because its great the feeling when you are in a foreign country to forget about everyone you know and forget how drab and sh*t the country is youre living in temporarily etc, Had that in holland, paris and norway etc, no better feeling than forgetting everything and everyone 8-)

You're making the assumption that Tim thinks the country he lives in is... whatever you said. :roll:

Not everyone hates the place they live and most people, if they did, would move somewhere else.

In your case I would recommend ... the moon ;) :P :lol: :etc:

what I was trying to say is that a change of scenery :) rather than seeing and being in the same location day in day out etc, the place where you live, bad wording on my part :P
