Today we decided to take it a little easier and get a day-pass public transport ticket. We have been walking a lot, and our first stop was nearly 4km away. Nobody seems to check for for tickets on the buses or trams - there is a lot of trust here. We had the easy to use Vasttrafik App.
We took the bus and tram to the World of Volvo. I have had three Volvo cars in my time. The first was a 1997 V40 which I bought new. I followed this with a superb V70 which I loved - a 2.5 litre automatic. I reluctantly changed this for an S40 when my daughters started to drive - I hated it and changed to a VW Golf within a few months. So I had a little more than a passing interest in the Volvo museum. There were lovely old cars lovingly restored plus trucks, a tractor, and more modern cars. Not of mine were there. Even if you are not into cars or Volvos - this is still an interesting museum.
In the afternoon we visited the maritime museum on the docks. We explored two boats and a submarine. One of the boats was a naval vessel - every space seemed to be of use - there were pipes and dials galore in these vessels which pre-dated computers. Not easy to get around, but well worth a visit.
In the evening we headed over towards the Karla Tower which is the tallest building in Scandanavia at 246m. It is an impressive srtructure, but completely out of place in this location. We had dinner at the nearby Cuckoo's Nest, and exhausted after such a long day we got the bus back even though it was only one stop.
