About 2 miles before reaching the ferry to go back to England, we were in a car accident. We were hit from behind while braking to avoid hitting someone in front of us that decided to do a U-turn in the middle of the road (ironically, the same cause of our last accident that totalled our Subaru in 2002). No injuries, but our car (which we have owned for about one month) was smashed up, as you can see here.
The accident caused us to miss our ferry, and due to the volcano and flight ban across Europe, the other ferries were all booked for the next 5 days. To get back home we had to drive down to France and catch a midnight ferry there. Not a great ending to our trip, but at least we got to see more of the countryside on the way back. 
Although technically not part of the trip since this was

That's SO funny! I love that they all fell asleep together! Huge bummer about the ferry. Tal is going to CH this week for 2 weeks and I was planning to go with him, leave the kids with my parents. But then w/ this volcano, I don't want to be trapped without my kids so it's not happening. Maybe later in the year when he goes to London?? Crazy volcano. What an interesting time to be in Europe.
