Flooding of eastern Europe

While I've been trickling my way down south of eastern Europe there has been much talk of serious flooding in Poland. During my time there last week I didn't see any flooding but the rain was fairly unrelenting. It wasn't til I got to Budapest that I actually saw some of the flooding first hand:

The Danube: not so blue right now

Aside the flooding, Budapest has a real unrefined beauty about it and a relaxing feel. Plus I'm obsessed with the awesome Hungarian roof tiling:

Location:Budapest, Hungary

Thanks a lot, volcano.

Seeing as I like to skim the news and only get half the story, I'm still unsure if this damn volcano in Iceland will interrupt my precious travels to their historic Norse land next month.

Being a first world middle class white woman and all, the main thing I care about is the fact that I've already booked my flights and I don't particularly want to endure their toxic ash and bloody whinging about it all. Plus would it be too much to ask if I could manage to get a decent meal of beer battered whale and chips while I'm there? Probably.
