Day 3: Mon 23Nov09 Melbourne City
In the morning, we took bus than tram to the city. Upon arrival, we went to the Information Centre to re-check our itinerary for the next few days. It was crowded at the Information Centre. After that, we went and sat at the Yarra River for our picnic lunch. We ate bread with tuna that we bought earlier. We also had fresh salad. After the fast meal, JL and AL played at the playground for a while. Then we took a slow stroll in the city and PaPa decided that we walked to the Melbourne Museum instead of taking the tram. It was a long walk. As so happen the Melbourne Museum was located behind The Royal Exhibition Building located in Carlton Gardens. The day when we visited the museum, the main hall was packed with students who were rushing to the hall for their exams. Melbourne City had many types of museums.
That night, Uncle KM sent PaPa to the airport to collect car from Hertz. It took PaPa a few hours to come back that we were worried whether he got lost or having trouble using the GPS. Then later we found that PaPa was waiting for 4-door Toyota Yaris to be returned because the ready available car was a 2-door Toyota Yaris. Hertz wanted to give a free upgrade to a bigger sedan car which PaPa rejected because PaPa did not want to pay for extra petrol/fuel consumption- bigger car higher consumption.

The Melbourne Museum was interesting where it displayed a lot about dinosaurs, animals and even science (including parts of human body etc…). We paid the entrance fees for the adults only as it was free for kids. Besides that, the worker even loan us another stroller for free to be used in the museum. We were busy looking after AL who was so excited running around because we were worried she might get lost or even accidentally bang on some of the display items which were not covered. We would not want to be caught via the security cameras.
After museum, we walked down the shopping mall road (Bourke Street) to go to the tram stop. The shopping mall was not that big. We did not realize that we actually even walked past the ChinaTown area. We were tired of walking and went back in the evening. We had dinner cooked by Aunty LL.
