Sep 9

9:41 well i have the rest of my transport worked out. I just have to make sure I catch it. I now have two hours to kill but the museums don’t open for another hour. This is a bit disappointing as I was hoping to see sweden’s only viking ship, but it’s a way off and I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it if I was clockwatching the whole time. Time to take a few pics of the harbour i reckon. The formula for seeing Sweden seems to be to avoid mixing travel and sightseeing: use one day to get somewhere and book your next hop, maybe sort out provisions, then the next to do the sights. Pray that the second day is a tuesday to friday.

12:39 Woo hoo! En route to the harbour to take pictures I passed the stadsmueum and it was open so i got to see my viking ship. There were some very cool artefacts and tales of bloody battles. The museum lends you an english translation but the swedish is much cooler, with the word bl�d occurring plenty, and lots of k’s and y’s giving it that olde worlde feel.

I also managed to come across a booklet giving a suggested tour of the rock carvings where i am headed tomorrow.
