Going to Norway. Advice please!

I will be taking my first trip to Norway soon, and will be going by rail from Oslo to Flåm, a boat ride on the fjord, and then rail from Stalheim to Bergen for a few days.

I like to travel light and normally take an M and 28mm and 50mm, but should I consider wider for this trip (21mm is the widest I have)?  I really don't know the scales of things, but I assume many of you have been.  Do you have any advice for me?  Examples?

Thanks,

Brent

I took my Q2 so it was 28mm for me all the way.... it worked fine, there's some great architecture in Bergen, go up to the lookout above town - great view on a clear day.

cheers

Has anyone "done" Norway with just a humble 35mm?

There are places where you feel you'll never get enough wide angle no matter what, e.g. at the bottom of a deep fjord (Geiranger), or near the bottom of a high mountain (Trollveggen). But with a little creativity, you can do fine with just a 35mm. And in Lightroom, you can also easily combine several overlapping images into a panorama if you wish.
