At the moment there is a volcano erupting in Iceland. There is a big cloud of ash flowing across Europe. The ash cloud is causing most of the airports to shut until the volcano has stopped spewing ash into the air. The planes cannot fly because they are afraid that the ash will cause the engines to stop. The airports are losing about 250 million dollars per day due to the delays.
My sister is over in Europe at the moment. She is on an overseas trip for 3 and a half weeks with her school mates from JPC. Shes travelling all around Europe. So far she has been to the Eiffel Tower, some castles and many different cities.
One of the men on the trip sent us some photos. Some of them they were taken on the Eiffel tower. There were also different sorts of food they eat in France such as snails, lamb brains and a BIG plate of strawberrys, YUM!
She was meant to return to New Zealand on Saturday, but she will now have to travel 7hours by bus to catch a flight in Rome because that airport is operating.
The airports are hoping that the volcano will stop soon so that they dont lose any more money.

What an exciting trip for your sister Sophie. The positive aspect of the volcano is that Hannah got to see Rome and other parts of Europe that wasn't on her itinerary. Lucky her!
