Our friends at Foreign Policy (among others) report that the Prime Minister of Norway, stranded in the US by volcanic events in Iceland, is working with his new iPad to make sure things don’t get out of hand back home. No word on what kind of mobile he uses, though maybe he’s saving on roaming charges by using Skype?
Anybody else out there stuck? (Chancellor Merkel, for example, is in Lisbon at least through Saturday. Not sure if that qualifies as stuck.)
Merkel’s minister of defense, zu Guttenberg, is stuck in Istanbul:

Worked for me yesterday. Unsurprisingly, getting a Eurostar ticket is a little tough at the moment.
European train network is awesome in my opinion. A glitch here and there should not matter.
