And finally, here is a day of rest!
Today is our first day "without" orienteering.
We slept 'till 10 am
Some quiet reading in the garden, scheduling our comeback to Slovenia, and then?
We went in town (Halmstad)...for an phot-O competition.
What is phot-O?
You have a map where some points are marked, and a correspondent number of pictures taken from the points marked on the map. But they are not in order, so you have to get to each point and find out the matching picture. There is no time limit, so you can walk without any hurry and enjoy the sunny day (... as the weather is sunny and warm!). If you find all the correct solutions, you can win a free entry to the next O-Ringen. Next year again here? Who knows... Anyway, a nice way to discover a town.
So... our day without orienteering goes on with the Halmstad Elite sprint race!
What happens here is something impossible to understand in our country.
The city is closed to the traffic. In the main square there is a big screen where you can follow the race thanks to some cameras placed along the course and there is a live time update for each athlete, so you are able to know in real time how the things are going on. The race is live on the national TV channel and on the O-Ringen radio. YES....there is an O-Ringen radio channel!
What else?
The winner is...I really don't know, but it was enjoyable to watch all the people in Halmstad present for the race!
In our country there is just football and nothing else...
Update
After O-Ringen we are going to visit Berlin, Auschwitz and then Wien.
After Wien we make a quick stop in Bovec and then we head to Postojna for another 4 days of orienteering competition in Slovenia.
The fifth day? O-MARATHON
What could be better than an O-Marathon to close our first 2 weeks of holidays?
