Melbourne Museum Part 1

Every time we go to Melbourne we end up going to the Melbourne Museum, even when it's bucketing rain. It's a fantastic museum because it has a lot of different types of exhibits which appeal to almost everyone. The exhibits are also very well thought out and educational. SV really enjoyed making her way through them. She had a lot of fun in the human perception and human body exhibits.

National Gallery of Victoria continued

After we finally got past the foyer we looked at some of the kids exhibits where SV got to do a number of activities. Eventually we went to see some of the masterpieces and other art as well. We even became part of the art as we took a photograph in front of an ornate mirror.

  

National Gallery of Victoria

The first museum we went to was the National Gallery of Victoria. The weather was a bit ordinary so a museum was a great place to escape the wind and rain. SV was hooked right off the bat with a great fountain and water wall. The first exhibit we saw in the foyer was a life scale golden carousel with swings. She was very excited to get on it, but soon realised that it only went one speed which was rather slow. She kept asking to go faster, but it even at slow speed we all had fun.

Trolley ride in Melbourne

Melbourne has heritage trams that run for free for tourists. SV was quite interested so we took her for a ride. After getting back to our hotel SV had a good nap before waking up and requesting a massage. We then took advantage of the huge Greek population to have a nice Greek dinner with a great open window overlooking the activity on the street.

Streets of Melbourne

When we arrived in Melbourne we went out to walk the streets because it was such a nice day so we felt like taking advantage. We had fun walking around and then having a really nice lunch. Some of you sharp eyed observers may recognise the venue from the last time we visited Melbourne.

Heading to Melbourne

SV is turning into a little plane spotter. She is starting to really enjoy going to the airport and flying. In fact the whole experience of travelling is always something to look forward to for her and she is always asking when and where we are going next. On this, her 46th, flight she was 100% well behaved. No one could fault her behaviour on the plane. Interestingly during the safety presentation she insisted that she should have the safety card so she could follow along. She really studied it for quite a long time.
