Norwegian friends, I need some tips. What clothes should I bring for north up to Tromsø at the beginning of August? I am backpacking and every gram matters. Are one softshell jacket, several short sleeved technical shirts, and 2 long sleeved sports shirts, a synthetic buff, and a pashmina, enough for layering? Are hiking trousers as the only layer enough? I prefer colder weather, everything 14C and more is for short sleeves only.

Would also appreciate tips on:
- Is visiting Lofoten as a day trip from Bodø without flying realistic?
- Any beautiful hikes in Lofoten suitable for couch potatoes with long COVID?
- Best way to get from Bodø to Tromsø is 2 buses to Harstad and then a boat, right? 6AM to 10PM
- Best way to get from Tromsø to Narvik is 2 buses, 4 or so hours?
- Anything else a must see up north?

This is the longest trip I’ve been on as an adult. We started in Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples), and then boarded a cruise in Naples that’s gone to Civitavecchia (Italy), Mykonos (Greece), Kusadsi (Turkey), and hits Santorini (Greece) tomorrow.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Packing cubes are good
Packing and unpacking sucks
High-speed trains are great
Regional trains are awful
Cruises are good
I miss having more than one room to call my own
Someone else making all your food is good
Paying for everything nonstop is not so good holy shit my credit card bill
Other people are either wonderful or extremely annoying

One of the rail travel tricks I often use is making a reservation in a different app from where I bought the ticket. For example, for some international connections it is not possible to reserve a seat in the DB app, but I want to buy my ticket from DB to get bonus points, and I want to have a guaranteed seat (happened when I was travelling to Pilsen for Easter). Also I use local apps if I have to take another train than stated on my ticket for whatever reason.

"The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please."

Lost in Translation: A fascinating example of how language nuances can change the tone of a message.
The Japanese sign at Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa politely warns of danger ahead, while the English translation takes on a more ominous tone.
