Thursday began in a more leisurely manner having breakfast with our hosts. We were then taken into the centre of Norrköping for the most fascinating talk from Professor Anders Ynnerman in the Visualisation Centre. He and his assistant took to us Mars and beyond with a 3D film showing us the world from outer space as it was at that exact moment in time. You can see us in our 3D glasses below!
Lunch was in the City Hall where we were guests of the Lady Mayor, Eva Andersson, and lady Vice Mayor, Jirina Klevstigh. The lunch was held in a beautiful room with a high ceiling and pictures of the previous mayor's on the wall. There had been 5 female mayors in recent times. Sara Meyer then gave us a tour of the city chambers.
There was time for a brief shopping trip or walk around the town. One part of the town used to house the industry but this has now been transformed into housing and university buidlings (see below).
Once back at the ice rink we played two games of six ends each with an hour for soup, bread and cheese in between. Music was played as we walked onto the ice behind the flags of Scotland and Sweden.
The games were all well contested and the details can be seen on the next blog. All I will say here is that there is everything to play for in Stockholm.
