Last day in Melbourne

On March 10, we packed up and headed to our other hotel for one last night in Melbourne. We had to move because we originally were planning to stay just 5 nights in Melbourne and 3 nights in Adelaide. Since flights were cheaper on a Monday instead of Sunday, we stayed in Melbourne an extra night. The plan was to just take it easy since it was super hot and since we had to get up at 3am to catch a 6am flight to Adelaide.

After leaving our bags at the hotel, we walked around the new neighborhood. St. Patrick's Cathedral caught my eye...

This was a really nice cathedral

Paul is admiring the architecture

And of course, I had to take a shot of the door...

In search of air conditioning, we headed towards the local IMAX theater next to the Melbourne Museum. No luck with a movie but we walked around the grounds of the museum. I know, we could have actually walked around the museum but the exhibits didn't really seem that interesting…instead, we used the free wifi and sat in the cafe drinking water. I was able to do more research for our Thailand trip!
