Melbourne with Rich








































So this post is a bit late, but at least it's up now. This is when Richo was visiting and just after we came back from Antarctica. The first photos are all right after we landed on New Years Day, after being in the air for 14+ hours with maybe 1 hour of sleep. Good fun in the gardens and then Melbourne Museum. Found some Antarctic exploration gear and an Xray that Rich identified with. Actually there was a really good medical exhibit on that we all enjoyed. Then on to the dinosaurs. Then at our hotel we found an interesting photo of some random kid in the lift. The next morning some of us had a hard time getting up, but when Lord of the Fries was mentioned everyone became excited, especially about the Obama sauce. Mmmm, tasty presidential sauce. We also went to Nobu and the Crown Casino for some sushi and entertainment. The next day we found the only Costco in Australia and had a blast shopping even though we had no room in our bags. We made sure to only get the essentials: wasabi peas, bourbon, pita chips, and of course the hot dog and ice cream at the food court.
Next time the final leg of our trip, the Great Ocean Road.
