A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party.
The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near the volcanic canyon in the southern highlands Saturday afternoon, reports the Icelandic news organization mbl.is.
One of the women on the bus left to change her clothes and freshen up. When she came back, her busmates didn't recognize her.
Soon, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman didn't recognize the description of herself, and joined in the search.
About 50 people searched the terrain by vehicles and on foot. The coast guard was even readying a helicopter to help.
But the search was called off at about 3 a.m., when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.

Sounds like someone took a trip to 'find themselves' a bit too literally.

Yes, we do. She has a half a dozen "self help" books going at any one time, believes a "pyramid of golden light" will stop her house from being burgled, tries a different "cleansing diet" each week, and is willing to believe anything up to a dozen contradictory charlatans/philosophers before breakfast.
How Hen hasn't strangled her yet is beyond me.

It beats being a little old lady Aunt Bea type sitting around knitting...
I hope I have as much zest for life when I'm her age as she does...
