If you check the link I posted at the post of the program, you can see that crown princess Mette Marit visits Keyserløkka Kindergarten in Oslo on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, while crown prince Haakon is with the president and the First Lady in Tromsø.

ok..I just saw the events posted..12th has only three in that..Fine..I thought she will be given a mini vacation as she just returned from her NYC tour..
 
But somehow these European State visits never intrigue me..All those countries are so small..Just like going from one state to another in US or India (latter is a better example..different language and culture for each state)... Especially among Scandivanian nations..or among Balkans..too close..
Though royals do always add up colour and dignity..one good thing..
 
President Niinistö and mrs Haukio gave to the king and the queen graphic art of Tiina Kivinen (mrs Haukio inaugurates the art gallery of Kivinen today, Kivinen won the Queen Sonja Nordic Art Award 2012) and Ultima Thule - Arctic Explorations book. The King also received the Rapala lure festive box and Queen Sonja Marimekko tablecloth and napkins, which the pattern is called Sonja. Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit received both Suunto watches.

Jenni Haukio opened the art exhibition on the first day. On her speech she praised the Finnish graphic art, and thanked the organizers of the exhibition for promotion the cultural relations of the two countries. Haukio presented special thanks to Queen Sonja for her interest in the graphic arts of the Nordic countries and after all, the queen is an artist herself. Closer cultural cooperation promotes the close social relationships more broadly, Haukio said.
