Hi Everyone
We are waiting in Novo airport for the flight to Moscow...
We were very lucky with the weather. The previous day, the forecast was for rain! On the day itself, we arrived at the eclipse with the greek gang and it was about 50% cloud cover at 1 hour before first contact. A few people got a little nervous!
Fortunately, the clouds cleared to give a perfectly clear sky just in time for first contact and it remained that way right through the eclipse! Lucky or what eh! This morning it was completely cloudy in novo with a little rain.
Loads of images taken and everyone very happy. It was great to share it with our greek friends, especially so soon after our recent visit to greece. Thanks guys for selecting the site and for sharing the experience of the whole trip with you all.
We will bore you all with the images when we return.

Well, lads, we are just back from the flight from moscow.
What can I say...it was an adventure and a half - and I'm not including the eclipse in that!
I'll post up more of a report with images tomorrow when I'm back to normal.
