You won't believe it, but the last pair I found in a mall in Budapest was the right match! I had hiking boots before and they never seemed comfortable on my toes. I went from store to store, ordered several pairs of boots and tried over 50 different brands.
I asked around on forums and groups about the right brand, but everyone had subjective opinions so it became a little difficult to make up my own mind. Once I figured out the trousers, I needed to get the right hiking boots. Well, we found the right trousers for G, but not for me. For about two weeks before the trip, we went back and forth around the city trying to find the perfect product. It took us so much research to find the right hiking trousers which are warm but also waterproof. So here is our Norway packing list for a two-week itinerary around the country (including a trip to Tromsø, which is located in the Arctic Circle). I'm sure you know how annoying it can be to want to take that picture but not be able to do it because it's raining cats and dogs.īefore the trip, we were a little reluctant to invest money in our gear, but we now realise we can use it for years to come. This was also the first trip where we wanted to take our photo and video gear with us so we can take enough footage irrespective of the weather. But we had everything we needed so we can enjoy a proper outdoorsy trip. Our Norway packing list may appear quite light for a two-week itinerary. We wanted to avoid being cold or wet and invested time and effort into finding everything we needed to pack for our Norway trip. We tried hiking without the right gear before, and had a hard time in the rain. We researched the brands we used, to ensure they are fit for the job. We only spent one day in Bergen, where we dressed for the city (jeans and a wooly sweater) and one day in Tromsø where we used our waterproofs.
If you check our Norway itinerary, you will see that we spent our time exploring the nature in Norway and not the city life. Our Norway packing guide is for couples who want to enjoy the outdoors in Norway.
#TRAVEL PACKLIST PROFESSIONAL#
We didn't use jeans or wooly jackets, but professional clothing made for hiking in harsher weather. Our Norway clothing were primarely designed for windy and rainy conditions. We spent two weeks in Norway, at the end of September, and had sunshine. Looking back, we realise the importance of having the right gear for both rain and snow. We knew we wanted to hike a lot, be in nature and visit a lot of places, but didn't know what to expect from Norwegian weather. When we decided to do a Norway road trip for the first time ever, we had absolutely no idea how our Norway packing list could look like.
