Today got away from me and did not get accomplished what I wanted. Plan was first to walk over to the laundry and pick up stuff that had dropped off on Thursday. But, my order was not ready so needed to come back in the afternoon. So, had to head back to the hotel to pick up the things that had planned to get when returned with the laundry. Decided not to walk it back and instead rode the City Circular tram. Nice ride, but took way longer than could have walked it.
Got back to hotel, picked up what I needed and took walk over to the Melbourne Aquarium - see pictures below.
Okay as aquariums go, but lighting kept pretty low. Probably was expecting more than turned out to be. But was good to be inside on account Saturday was a pretty dreary day - chilly and drizzly. Wanted to see the octopus exhibit - too bad that the octopus was sleeping in the corner of its holding tank.
After leaving the aquarium hopped on the City Circular tram and went again to the Victoria Market. Stocked up on some fruit for the week and bought couple of scarves. Picked up a sandwich from one of the vendors.

ReplyDeleteWalking probably the best way to get around in the City Center.
