Damon's Visit - Day 3

Today we went to famous Queen Victoria Markets. Had a wander around the seafood, meat, delicatessens, fruit and veggies and general goods sections. Damon purchased a couple of things which I can't say because they are gifts for family members. He also bought a memento for himself which I was so fascinated with watching, that I completely forgot to take a photo while it was getting done. But I have included a photo below so you can see. It is very cool!!!







We made a bit of a plan in case we lost each other.....so many people!!









How many types of sausages can there be??









Pleasure doing business with you sir!









Just looking.









Mmmmmm yummo!









Had to buy some of this.......after I taste tested about 10!!!!!!!!









Strawberry milkshake....blah, I am soooooo full!








My Melbourne momento.

So after the markets when walked about 7 blocks away to the Melbourne Museum. The big white building was the Exhibition Hall which was opposite the museum. It was HUGE and beautiful. I would love to go inside. Didn't look like we could so I will look into this and maybe visit on another day.















Yes you can just see Damon under the water drops on the other side of the fountain.

























Hey look at this exhibit.....it's Damon!!

Went in here for a little bit of sex education. Saw a video on childbirth!!!




















This room has to be seen to be believed.

This is the Koala that was in all the papers receiving a drink of water from a fire fighter during Victoria's black Saturday fires. He died of a disease. :-(























There was amazing displays of minerals and crystals. This was one I liked.









Watched an awesome 3D movie on Volcanoes.









Python.









So now we are in Lygon Street (Italian district), just chilling in the park waiting for it to get dark so we can watch the free outdoor screening of Yogi Bear. We went and had some pasta (forgot to take a photo sorry, and shared some gelato)


So made our way back home. Ended up on a tram that went via St Kilda so we jumped off and checked out Luna Park.
















And then walked past the famous cake shops in Ackland Street.








You can walk to my place from here but we were tired and didn't want to walk the dark streets so we jumped in a cab.......Damon was very happy about this. He even took down the rego number to keep a look out to see if we see the same cab again.









Hot chocolate when we got home and thankfully bed....it's exhausting being a tourist!

Till tomorrow
