Trip to U K
Our trip to see relatives started off with first of all with a drive to catch the Bus to begen at 13. 15, 5 hour trip costing £50 for wo of us . First bit was ok to Forde where we had to change to another Bus, that was when peace was shattered, imaging sitting across the aisle from a 3 year old that had a screaming paddy for TWO HOURS solid, my god a good slap acros the legs wouldnt have gone amiss.It eventually went to sleep after the ferry crossing of sognefjord, I think mother fed it enough stuff to put it to sleep.
Arrival in Bergen at 18.20 then a drag of 4 cases across to the railway station to find a locker to store them in whilst having a meal. Good meal just steak and veg etc plus a coffee and glass of wine, not bad 900kr or about £90
.
After that bus to airport to stay overnight in Airport Hotel,
B&B for two £160, well its only money. Flight at 9 15 next morning. As usual secuirity as normal I set the alarm off, one of the disadvantages of a Hip Op.
Flight on time, needed a buggy for wife as its such a long drag from plane to baggage collection and she is jiust out of Hospital 3 days .
Now the train from gatwick to St pancras, two suitcases and two cabin bags, mostly full of stuff for family,. half way down the esclator to the platform I went flying,, panic because I couldnt get up as the thing was still going, ruined my jacket and pinched finger, it could have been much worse. Now the walk from st pancs to Euston, about 20 mins . OMG traffic , I saw more cars in that 20 mins than in a whole year at home. Train was broken down , so they had to find another one , then of course so many people, luckily I had booked first class way back and had paid with vouchers- Man had sat in our reserved seats , was most peeved to have to move. Off we went with free coffee etc . Last Laugh to us on the guy that had sat in our seats , he had only paid for a 2nd class ticket , so had to cough up for an upgrade, typical of the man in the suit and Briefcase trying to get something for nothing .
Ok that will do for now more later or shouĝd this be moved to somewhere else .
