  • Luggage And Bags: We had a car so that was our luggage really. For the two of us for two weeks we didn't really have too much - but because the weather was all over the place we had to bring jumpers, coats as well as our swimming costumes!

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Don't wear white when going to Norway - it will get dirty! The vest seen in some of the photos was smeared with grease from a boat after the first day! Sometimes I can be a real blonde!
    Also make sure you have stuff that can dry quickly. Even in the summer it can rain lots!

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: We didn't have any problems with mozzies but probably a good idea to take some insert repellent anyways.

    Photo Equipment: I always carry a polaroid lens with me and on some of the days that we had I was glad of it. And if you get close to the glaciers it's good to have one - so that you can get some contrast!

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Our tent was awesome but towards the end of our trip it was getting battered. Always handy to have is:
    Gaffer tape - for patches or mending broken poles.
    Extra pegs - need I say more?
    Extra guy ropes - good for temp clothes line.
    And books - especially if you are holed up because of rain!
