We arrived yesterday and found our way out to Orebro to stay with David and Maria and children.
Today we went in to the immigration department and got our photos and fingerprints recorded for our temporary Swedish visitor's permit - all went well, permit to come through to UK next week or so
.
Then in to town to play tourist. See the photo of the Orebro Slott (castle) attached. Also a local hardware shop, coffee and pastry shop, and various statues of famous ancestors.
In the afternoon we went to the big shopping centre, highlight being Ikea! The only significant difference from Ikea in Brisbane is everything is written in Swedish.
