We set the alarm for 0745 and we wanted to be able to check in early for our flight and then get some breakfast in the terminal. So we checked out and walked down the tunnel from the Hotel and arrived at Gatwick South terminal and immediately found our location to dump our bags. So here modern technology takes over and your do the check in your self by putting either your passport or pre printed boarding pass in to the scanner and finds your booking and asks how many bags do you have to check in? so entered Two and pressed the button to print the baggage labels only it did not work.
So we tried two other machines with same result and so had to head to the Norwegian Airline staff to sort it out which she did. So with our suitcases gone we headed of to to security which is always annoying as take off your belt, PC and mobiles in separate trays and as I have a metal knee have to go thro a full check, apparently Jennifer's security guy was upset because she was holding her passport when they said do not hold anything?? how stupid.
We went to one of the many restaurants to be found at the airport and our requirement was only a bacon sandwich which the girl on reception said was Ok but when asking the server she said we don't do sandwiches and then we ordered two bits of toast and some bacon and Hey Ho our bacon sandwiches were available. Our flight was running about 45 minutes late, nothing new here and the flight was quite full and as people were going to a cold country they had more hand baggage than usual and so all the overhead bins were full up and Jennifer had her small carry on bag under feet.

Two hours later we arrived at Bergen Airport and had to wait almost 30 minutes for our suitcases to arrive, so slow for a small airport we thought. The car and driver were waiting to take us to the Hotel which is the Clarion Hotel Bergen in the centre of town . By this time we were both quite tired and elected to have a short rest in bed which we did for nearly two hours and then went to The Big Horn Steak and Burger joint across the road for dinner and the food was really good and then afterwards we walked down town but it was a bit damp and we were still a bit tired and so back to the hotel for a restful evening.
