Melbourne

Today we took the free electric tram (#35). We intended to do the CBD loop, but it was standing room only at 10 am, so we couldn’t see much. We got off & walked to Federation Square, which was underwhelming at that time of day. Nothing going on. Next we walked a bit more to see some building art on three short lanes. Then we visited St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, which was quite grandiose. We then walked (are you sensing a theme here) across the Yarra River to the National Gallery of Victoria, which was quite interesting. Lots of paintings, textiles, sculptures from various time periods from all around the world. From there, we walked to a Chinese restaurant, in the largest Chinatown in the Southern Hemisphere, for some excellent Dim Sum. We then walked the remaining 2 kms back to our hotel. Another 12K + step day, just over 8 kms. Kim walked to the Queen Victoria night market, just a couple of blocks from our hotel.Læs mere
