Day 3

DAY 3

We woke up at about 9AM and went out and got breakfast at a place nearby. Then we took a taxi to "Universeum." It is a science museum AND aquarium and we spent from 12PM to 5PM because it was so awesome! Let me tell you about it:


 Universeum is a public science center in Gothenburg that first opened in 2001. It is split up into 6 different sections that have collections of reptiles, aquatic life, insects, birds, and so much more.
The 6 exhibits are:

~Kalejdo: Exhibit about space, crime-investigation, lasers,etc.       
  ~Explore: Experiment department about  humans  and technology

~Vattnets Vag: Also called "Water's Way" shows Swedish fish, reptiles, and other animals

~Akvariehallen: Called "Ocean Zone", marine animals including sharks

  ~Regnskogen: Translates to "Rainforest", has contains tropical animals in their natural environment

~Dodliga Skonheter: Means "Deadly Beauties" andhas deadly and poisonous reptiles
After a long and exciting day we walked back and took in the beautiful city of Gothenburg. Overall, it was an amazing day that all 5 of us enjoyed and will never forget. It was an absolutely incredible experience where we saw Sweden's animals in person, while in Sweden. I don't think any of us have ever felt so culturally connected to another country. The walk back was absolutely beautiful. We're going to sleep now, and are excited for tomorrow. I forget what we're doing. Maybe the soccer game, or maybe the famous annual music festival. I'll have to find out tomorrow!
