On Our Way! Arrival!

06-01: All set to go! Off to the airport at 7:45a for our 9a flight to Denver. We will fly Fresno-Denver-Frankfurt-Bergen. Frankfurt is my least favorite airport in the world (so far) so I hope that goes well. No direct flights but Stuart splurged and bought us 1^st class seats. We went to the United lounge in Denver for our 2-hour layover there, which turned out to be 5-6 hours! There was a hail storm and they blamed it on that for one, but the original plane we had developed a fuel leak and they had to get another plane. Eventually, we left but of course arrived in Frankfurt too late for our connecting flight. Thankfully, United automatically booked us on a later flight and we didn’t need to do anything but show up. The flight itself was amazing in the Polaris are. So much food and attention. We had blankets, pillows, toiletry bag, and so much room! Thank you Stuart for the amazing seats. Of course, this was our dinner, which neither of us could finish! Dessert cart followed this meal as well. 

06-02: In the past my LEAST favorite airport in the world has been Frankfurt. Normally, when landing there you are bussed from the tarmac to the terminal. This time we had an actual gate in the terminal. Not knowing how far we had to go, I had a wheelchair. They were ready and waiting for us. We zoomed through passport control and then on to the Lufthansa lounge for our wait. It was a very nice lounge, I fell asleep at the table, just like school with my head laying down on the table. Yes, we are tired. Finally, it was time to go and they came to our table to let us know my ride was there waiting! We both rode in a cart this time and then I transferred to a wheelchair. We awaited our turn to board and then it was a short flight to Bergen. We got an Uber to take us to the Magic Kloverhuset Harbour Hotel. We arrived there just before midnight. It was a long 30-hour day since we left home, but it was as enjoyable as it could be considering the delays. It just took seconds to fall asleep! This isn't a great photo but it looked like a Christmas Village down there with all the lights.
