Hurtigruten; Sunday, 27 January, 2013

In the previous week Heathrow had nearly closed on several occasions because of a slight fall of snow, and consequently, the flight we were due to take had been cancelled the previous Sunday and twice more since, so it was with some trepidation that we checked in to a flight that was still 'on time'

In the end the flight did operate, but with the usual efficiency of Heathrow it was nearly an hour after our scheduled push back time that we finally started our take off roll.

An uneventful and smooth 90 minutes later the plane touched down in Bergen and after a swift run through baggage and customs it was onto the flybussen into town and the hotel.
