Beach beach beach. You simply have to live on the coast. We can argue which coast but a city needs a beach. And to make sure that Melbourne’s beaches are worthwhile and to have a look at those Australian waves that I had heard so much about, we chose to spend the morning in South Melbourne. That was a good choice actually, though the waves weren’t much different to the ones we get in Mossby to be honest. There got to be better ones out there. But the Southern part of Melbourne is just lovely, not just the sand but the houses! All Victorian and pretty and absolutely adorable. We had a good walk around and a lunch in the sun before making our way back into the city center and the Victorian National Gallery with a lovely exhibition both in modern and Chinese art. Had ice cream at Trampoline (thanks Nico!!) and met up with Em to have dinner at her old workplace. That was so nice! We had an amazing family dinner with lots of laughter and good times and it was just great. Now I’m feeling slightly tipsy but very happy to be here. So far this trip is better than I ever could have imagined. I’m by the way still staying with Marie and Bengt in their holiday apartment. Tomorrow we’ll spend in Melbourne again and than it’s roadtrip time! Keep smiling back home and check out the pictures I uploaded on facebook
