Vik Village

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 and 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!

 We drove from Bergen on the E16- taking it easy as we had to get used to driving on the right side of the road (wrong for us!) and because it was raining. But we could still appreciate the scenery!......
