Do I need snow shoes for Norway? What's the sidewalk situation like?

I am going to Norway for a tour later this year (Tromso-Kirkness-Tromso) and hear it is really cold. I have waterproof hiking shoes and thermal socks. Should I buy snow shoes? What is the sidewalk situation?

We're thinking of taking a cruise along the Norwegian coast to Spitsbergen. Who else can we travel with?

Also, would you recommend and particular ship/excursion with Hurtigruten?

Any suggestions for wedding venues in Lapland?

I am getting married and i think i want to tie the knot in Lapland. I visited Pyha last winter and just think it would be perfect.

I'm worried about pictures not turning out well in general...

Any recommendations for Wales?

We’ll be leaving Scotland for Wales next month to finish our UK trip. I hear there is a lot of ground to cover but was hoping we could stay in one central place and drive from site to site. Is that possible or should we anticipate lodging a multiple places? We’ll be in Wales for a week.

Schengen Visa needed?

I didn’t expect to spend over 10 hours in Frankfurt for my layover, but figured since I am, might as well tour the area! I read somewhere that you might need a Schengen Visa? Does anyone have experience with this?
