Melbourne Day 3

Today was colder... very much colder but it was nice to walk along the river on the way to the Victoria Art Gallery. But first we had lunch at a nice alfresco italian/spanish restaurant called Von's Place. It was a quaint little alley way with restaurants lining it. Think Clark Quay but with a lot more character.

We ordered avacado seafood salad, matt had pasta gemberi and I had pasta calamari. The salad was nothing much to scream about but the pasta was quite nice. Well seasoned. We then made our way to the gallery. Now at this point I would like to formally annouce Matt as the world's best navigator. He seems to have a GPS stuck to his head.. (GPS only functioning in Auz, not valid in Singapore). He knows which direction to go etc.. the only thing is he does not know that he has arrived at his destination. So that's where I come in.. "Look da, we're here already. Can stop walking!"

The gallery was quite nice. It had egyptian, greecian, 17th Century art, contemporary art, modern chinese art. I was looking forward to Rembrant's Nightwatch as there was a collection of this works but alas they didn't have it. My favourite was a series of 3 paintings of Pandas by Zuoren. So intricate so beautiful. We walked till my feet ached. On the way back to had krispy Kreme... YES its in Auzzie. It was nice at first (better than doughnut factory) but got a little too sweet for me.

When we got back, we were suppose to meet up with Amanda for her dance practice and dinner but matt came down with an allergy. His lips swelled. Not particularly bad but bad enough to stay in and get him to drink enough water to flush it out. I suspect that its my sunblock which he is using. Poor thing. He had saugages for lips for a while.

When the swelling subsided somewhat, we went for a quick dinner at the Jap cafe we went on the first day. But alas, the dinner was not as nice. The sashimi was cut as thin as toilet paper and the rice box tasted like bad chinese food. What a disappointment.

So here I am eating cup noodles (quite nice) and blogging. Will be posting up pictures soon!..

Matt: Hey how come nobody posted a comment on our previous entry
angel: Yeah, are we the only ones excited about it?
Matt: Apparently no one's surprised.
Matt & Angel: Dang.
