From memory it was a 3 week trip, the first of which was attending a conference in Bergen.
After that we only got as far north as Aldesnes, following the coast and using short ferry crossings to save inland detours. Went up the highest mountain, Galthoppen or something (fat pig). It was recommended you have a guide, roped up for the glacier crossing. Being tight wads we just followed in the footsteps of a walking party and got shouted at for not paying the guiding fee. It was a simple walk with crampons.
Loved the roll mop herring for breakfast. We had an exhibition stand at the conference, and obtained written permission from the Norwegian Embassy to bring alcohol into the country. Duly declared, we brought in suitcases full of decent wine. My partner at the time worked in sales, we rationed the free exhibition booze, then on our trip she negotiated free B & B accommodation in exchange for bottles of expensive wine.
