Although packing everything in our car did not mean leaving yet. After filling up the suitcases and stuffing them in our car, we parked out if the stugas' area to a free community parking lot and left the car there.

| The map of Gustavsvik, Örebro |
We visited lots of places in the previous days, like Klossbutiken and Nora, but we didn't really get time to walk around our actual area IN Örebro; Gustavsvik!
As a beginning, we walked down by the lake, which was completely frozen. I was totally surprised, because back in Stockholm, there was barely ice on the lakes, but here, it was completely hard and safe. Too bad I didn't bring my ice skates. :(
Then we walked past an easy-looking obstacle route made of wood and a few ropes. Of course the family gave it a try, we'd never have missed it. :D As I said, it seemed pretty easy, but it was actually really hard! You had to swing, jump, balance… It was just a non-official playground like route though, probably built by the people around. It turned out good!
Afterwards, we walked all the way back to the reception near where we parked our car, to see a golf court. It was no ordinary court, this one was well-known all across Örebro. Why? Let me just explain.
This golf court was basically the maquette of Örebro. It showed every important place or tourist attraction from the city! The perfect copies of places were fully detailed and symbolised Örebro well, reflecting the importance of every each thing. For example, Örebros' well-known castle, the slott was built, just as good looking as its real building, but smaller of course. It looked great, even the water around was present! Great job, Gustavsvik!

I really liked how the slott was made. As a person who likes art and drawing, I studied the windows for a while, how the designers made them look like they were in deeper, when the building was actually plain. The shadowing is done perfectly, well done to the artists!!!
There were also models of the water tower that is famous here, the Tekniska Museet av Örebro, a possible picture gallery I didn't know about, and many more! They looked amazing, all accurate and real!

When we admired all built maquettes, we said goodbye to the reception staff and to Örebro itself. It was time to leave. Of course we visited an IKEA before approaching home though… and a Toys R Us…. and inside the car, I even wrote my English homework! I mean, better later than never!
This had been an amazing and eventful trip in my life. All these new memories… I hope we'll go on a similar trip like this soon! Maybe this spring in the Easter break! Travelling is endless.
