For Ms O'Neill, I thought I would put up some safety issues to be considered when travelling in Norway,
- There is an underlying threat from terrorism . Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers
- You should be aware that drugs and drink driving laws are stricter in Norway
- There are few safety concerns in Norway, but you should be aware of the dangers of theft, particularly in the airports and railway stations in and around Oslo.
- Norway is very expensive - bring or have electronic access to plenty of money, especially if you intend to eat and drink in restaurants and bars.
- If you intend to visit forest, lake and mountainous regions you should bring plenty of insect repellent as mosquitoes and midges can be a problem.
- You should bring warm clothes and practical footwear to cope with icy roads and pavements.
- When travelling by air, it is important to avoid deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that develops in deep veins. It's a potentially deadly condition that can be caused by sitting in cramped conditions for too long.
