Instead of walking to the Springvale railway station we decided to drive to Glen Waverley and catch the train from there into the city.
It was an overcast start to the day though thankfully not too cold so we were keen to have another walk around the city and visit the museum.
We left the train at the Southern Cross Railway Station and made our way to have at look at the Etihad Stadium and the views across to the development at Docklands and with skies having cleared and the sun shinning, we were able to see across the city.
From here we ventured up Bourke Street to Swanston Street, being blowing around by the gusty winds whilst trying to cover our eyes and mouths from all the pollen coming from the trees that lined the street.
Other than that, it all looked quite striking and you could easily have thought that you could have been walking along a street in Paris, with the trees and round advertising type pillars.
Though of course the trams aren’t something you can see going through the streets of Paris.
From here we went on to the museum to see the exhibition. Where we spent a good two hours viewing A Day in Pompeii.
With that we walked to Flinders Street Railway Station and were lucky enough to just catch a fast train leaving for Glen Waverly, so we were back to the car within 20 minutes. However we had to pick up a few supplies before returning to our home which we did at the Woolies supermarket.
We both agreed that Melbourne has a lot to offer with so much more that we could have looked at and walks that we could have done. No doubt we will come back again one day. We had also been quite lucky with the weather having been fine and sunny for three of the four days we had been in and around Melbourne.
