Started the day with yoga in a nearby neighborhood, which was a wonderful tonic for my poor muscles, followed by a delicious lunch in Kylie's backyard garden under a huge lemon tree (that the possums have yet to devour). We ventured into the city and had a great visit at the National Gallery of Victoria, which has local artists beginning from the mid-19th century. One of the highlights for me was seeing the beautiful carved Emu eggs (kind of like our Fabrege eggs) and the train station. Yarra River was lovely as were the many shops and galleries all around. Kylie gave me an overall tour of Melbourne, which is a really eclectic and interesting city - very European in feel - and vibrant. We gathered maps of walking tours of the city and we'll probably take one of them tomorrow, along with some shopping. I may even get some local Ugg boots!
