So, the visit to the local space observatory was pretty weird. When we went it was raining and where then told that only on 20% of days there is clear sky... I should've made the connection! But what was great was having some traditional food, including the typical meatballs and herring, along with some new additions such as an anchovy potato bake and a sweet spicey bread. Also got to talk to some old Swedish man who had much interest in Swedens military ect. Was interested to find out the abundance of weapons that Sweden has produced in the past. I think they said that they directed funds away from nuclear to planes, so at one stage had one of the biggest airforces in the world. Crazy when you consider Sweden is only 10million.
Found out that the student union actually has TWO sauna / residential properties by the lake. The Woodfired one I have posted about before, and a smaller electric double room sauna which we got to ourselves this time. The accommodation was really nice with 20beds, lots of couches, wifi, fireplace and great cooking facilities. Cost less than $200 a night to rent. If only it wasn't so rural I'd live there, :P. Nakey sauna was nice. but nakey swimming in Australia is a lot nicer, as it isn't 4degrees.
Hopefully some snow in the next week when my sister comes to join me! Can't wait to explore the Christmas markets with her and show her the city.
