Summer homes on a small island in the Oslofjord
It would seem that Norway is the place to be if you value your summer holiday.
Fellesferie.
That is the Norwegian summer holiday and it would seem most everyone tales advantage of it. Three weeks off! There is no official starting day but the second week in July seems to be the time when the 4.6 million or so folks in Norway all take a summer vacation. At the same time! Many head to summer cabins in the south of Norway such as those pictured above. The south of Europe is also popular but it can be difficult to get an air ticket because flight workers are also taking the time off and fights may be cancelled for lack of workers! Even in larger cities like Oslo stores may close early or restrict their opening times and I can just imagine how difficult it must be if you need a plumber or some other skilled person during this time.
Wow...another of the many reasons you just have to love the country of Norway.
