Lots of people also went to the Neringa resorts on the weekend, so on Sunday night the longest queues on the Neringa side were stretched out on the Naujoji Smiltyne ferry.

“We are in a traffic jam for two and a half hours. Mothers with young children walk outside, I had to see the baby surrounded by hands on the outside all that time. We are still in a traffic jam and we have not moved to Klaipeda, and where else? there is the trip to Kaunas.

The saddest thing is that not all drivers are honest: some drive the second lane directly to the ferry, ignoring a regulator’s saying “the first line is for everyone, the second is only for those who have permits.” Everything is simply because there is no bridge … People are taking photos, filming, they are outraged, ”Gintarė, a resident of Kaunas, told the Delfi portal, who also sent photos illustrating the situation.

According to Gintarė, just two hours later, three police cars appeared, as they had guessed, having moved from Klaipėda, which, due to a long queue, started to allow the cars to travel on the two-lane ferry.

“We waited in line for up to 2 km and, after all, the summer season hasn’t started yet,” Gintarė was surprised. The woman said she expected to guess the ferry at 5pm, unfortunately after 7pm She had to wait in line.

Palanga was also packed on the weekend. Although the price of one hour of parking around Basanavičiaus street has risen from 1.7 to 2 euros, at 2pm. It was not possible to find a vacant place, I had to look for a place in more remote places.

“I spun maybe 5 wheels until I finally found a free spot at the other end near the market. My friend and I went around in circles for about 30-40 minutes. It was easier to find a spot for the car during the summer. Probably the people are tired of the quarantine that has lasted too long and yearn for entertainment, ”said Kęstutis from Klaipėda, who came to Palanga for a walk from Klaipėda.

Meeting a young family with two young children from Vilnius, they were glad that there is so much entertainment for children in this corner of the beach.

“While my husband and I were sitting in a cafe, the children enjoyed trampolines, swings and other entertainment for the children. There is a lot of action for them here, ”said Simona from Vilnius.

It is true that her husband Tadas emphasized that to find a free table in the cafe, it took a lot of walking.

“We went through 5 cafes until we found a place. Others waited in queues, but with the children it was a difficult task. We are patient, but the children had already started whining, because for them walking from one place to another is suffering. Finally we took them to the playground and we calmed down ”, smiled the interlocutors.

On the Palanga bridge, all the benches to sit by the sea were occupied for about 15 hours, and the promenade was occupied by vacationers, they just sat on the sand and enjoyed the sun. Some of them also decided to dance in the icy water.

Still, on Sunday after 4pm the sky was cloudy, it was raining, and vacationers were about to split up.
