    Take a sick bag for the cruise. I went to norway about 5 year ago with work and had to take a boat to an island and i have never puked as much in my life. Unfortunatley I didnt get to see much of Burgen but it looked sweet from the postcards i sent.

    Take plenty of NOK (if thats what they still use) as everything was very pricey. About £8 a pint and £10 a box of fags.

    Enjoy your trip.

      Dalecan, hope you have a smooth crossing!!

      Just come back from Scandinavian tour in the MC (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) with the return crossing being Bergen - Stavanger - Newcastle. Dave is right, be prepared for a rough crossing with requist sick bag being handy. The crossing was delayed due to bad weather in the North Sea with the Stavanger - Newcastle leg being decidely bumpy. Apparently the outward crossing had been even worst according to a few people I met on the ferry.
      There is an excellent Tourist Information Office just up from the fish market 10mins from the ferry terminal with loads of info on local attractions. We just did a bit of shopping (expensive, now wonder Norwegians come to Newcastle to shop!!) and got in the queue for the ferry when we eventually confirmed its location. Saw loads of classic rally cars at the quayside returning to UK from the Classic Marathon Rally, amazingly only two none runners on tow from about 30/40 cars.
      Food and booze as Dave already mentioned is expensive and NOK is the currency still, rate is 11ish to 1£. Take cash don't bother with Travellers Cheques.
      I'll do a bit of a write up and add some pics when I got a bit more time.

      Good luck
