Heading out tomorrow for a second try at the south coast... After the flood they were ferrying cars across on trucks, and tourists in buses, until one of the buses got stuck in the river and dropped some poor tourists in the water (brrr, glacial temps!). This is not the one, but you get the idea. Now the temporary bridge is done and I'm going to give it another try. Buses fording rivers is pretty common here, the best way to traverse the famous "F" roads other than in a jeep (see some funny examples on YouTube).
I feel like I have spent at least a week of my life booking and rebooking travel arrangements—sort through places on the web, inquire about availability, check prices, number of beds, private bath/shared bath/hostel/guesthouse/farmstay/linens/breakfast, wait for email replies—OY! Here's hoping for good weather and no volcanic eruptions! And hopefully there will be pictures of glaciers and icebergs to come...
