Bedingt durch die Vulkanaschenwolke wurde der Abflug
der Gruppe verzögert und das Ganze wurde für Maya Travel zur grossen
Herausforderung. Auch wenn sich die Beteiligten durch diese aussergwöhnliche
Situation zwangsweise anpassen mussten, war die Reise trotzdem ein Erfolg. Wir
bedanken uns bei Maya Hagenbucher, Roland Kink und Ruedi Schai für die spontane
Mithilfe.
