After our awesome time on Öland, the weather got quite bad. We decided head to Jönköpping, Trollhättan and finally Gothenburg to see some city life and come closer to our destination, the Swedish West Coast. Since both of us are petrolheads, we visited some car museums.
The first stop was the Husqvarna museum near Jönköpping. Note how many different products the company manufactured during it's over 300 year long existence. They made everything from motorcycles, ovens, bicycles, guns, sewing machines to even rocket launchers!
After that we went to Trollhättan and found a beautiful spot right next to the huge hydroelectric plant right in the centre of the city. We explored the city and went to the Saab car museum the next morning.
Since we were at it already, we decided to drive further to Gothenburg the same day and visit the Volvo museum there.

In Gothenburg we spent some days visiting a friend, drinking a lot of Swedish beer and exploring the city. Philip then took a plane back to Germany and I continued my way down the West Coast and finally headed to the Säljeryd community. This time will be featured in the next blog post, which will be the last one dealing with my journey to Sweden.
Gothenburg is a very exquisite city right by the sea, with a vivid nightlife and alternative scene. Thanks to everybody who made my time there such a joy!
