Örebro Day 2 -The Events

by Patricia

PART 1  /  PART 3

Waking up in the top of a bunk bed, I immediately realized it was a start of a new day in Örebro. 

The plans for today were various, but after breakfast, we decided to go back to Klossbutiken, the largest LEGO shop of Sweden. It was closing at 2 o'clock today since it was Saturday, so we had no time to waste. 

Of course we ended up with a few items after closing time, like a The LEGO Movie lunch box for my sister and LEGO shaped erasers because they were just cute.

Afterwards, we didn't go back to our stuga in Gustavsvik, we went straight to a town called Nora. Nora is known as the favourite summer place of the Swedes, so my mum didn't let us miss the sightseeing. However, when we got there, there was literally nothing but snow. That's when I learned that visiting a summer place in the winter is just not right.

Knowing that Gustavsvik is far from here, we decided to eat lunch in Nora. Coop Forum seemed to be the best option, since we couldn't even find a McDonald's…

After a "wonderful" lunch, we were heading back to our stuga in Gustavsvik. On our way, we saw a huge "lekhus", which is a Swedish word for "playhouse". It's name was Lek Bus Landet, and it was known as the largest playhouse in Europe. Wow. It is a GREAT opportunity for families, I believe children would enjoy it a lot! And the age group is 0-18!

Eventually, we got back to our stuga. It was eight o'clock, which only meant one thing. Melodifestivalen, here we go! 

After watching the song contest, I was disappointed since my very favourite band was out, but in overall, this was a great day!
