Easter vacation ends



Today, Monday, or 2nd Day Easter as it is called in Norway, ends a 10-day vacation for most Norwegians. Although many returned home from the mountains already on Easter Sunday, resulting in long lineups on the roads leading to the larger citities, Monday's lineups are expected to be even longer.

There have so far been no reports of major accidents in the mountains, or on the roads this Easter, partly due to mixed weather and skiing conditions many places.

However, the number of persons assisted by the mountain Red Cross patrols had reached 852 by Sunday evening, compared to 623 at the same time last year.

On the whole, Northern Norway have had the most sunshine, but this last weekend there have been some beautiful days on the mountain slopes or at the seaside cabins also in Southern Norway.
