Day 71 - Melbourne

Typical Melbourne.  Shorts yesterday, jean, boots, winter coats today.  It was freezing!  Went in to Melbourne again today.  Went back to Queen Victoria Markets.  I don't think Ian realised that when I told him I wanted to go back there, I meant without him and the kids!!  Anyway, managed to buy a beautiful dress and jacket (like the one I tried on in Dunsborough for the girls who came shopping on the way home), even with him standing there trying to hurry me along.  :))

Then went to the Melbourne Museum. 

They had the Tutankhamen Exhibit there which was amazing.  Statues, jewellery, furniture, all stuff that was found in King Tut's tomb and it is gorgeous.  Beautifully decorated, gold, gems, and to think of how long it was buried is just amazing.  Would have liked to spend longer there but Ian wasn't feeling well and the kids were not interested which was a shame. 

The Museum itself was really good too.  Ian went and had a sleep in the car and I took the kids around.  They loved it - the dinosaurs,

the animals, the bugs

and the 3D movie about the Earth and volcanoes.  Again, we needed more time, were ushered out the door as it was closing but could have spent heaps more time there.  Ian gone straight to bed - hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow.  Planning to go to Ballarat.
