Day 165



Sunday continued with the bad weather from yesterday, but we didn't mind as we had another museum on the agenda; the National Museum of Science and Technology.

Above is BESK, Swedens second computer and, for a while, the worlds fastest computer.



Daniel in front of an old mechanical shop, around the end of the 19th century. The machines were driven by belts and shafts in the ceiling. Pretty smart.

The museum also had a mine gallery, to show how Swedish mining industry has evolved. There were even a "real" mine that you could walk down into, to feel the narrow and dark environment. Mine-work was definately a hard task 400 years ago!
