So, earlier, when I was all excited about free pancakes, I didn’t realize something rather major. Pancakes once in a while are a treat; pancakes every day are awful.

After a lovely breakfast of not pancakes, I just walked around today with no agenda. After a bit of tram riding, I found a nice park with a bunch of Japanese tourists milling around. They must know something, I thought, and followed them to some neat stuff. It continued to be sunny, so I wandered around the park. There was a model village and conservatory, some fountains and such.

I managed to find more free stuff to do as well. A couple of galleries of aboriginal art were within walking distance. You might not believe how much money they were asking for that stuff. A lot, is all I know. The best was the state library. Man, it’s great! Such a neat exhibit of all their most famous and old books. Since the region was the capitol, they got some doozies here. I won’t bore you, but they got stuff as good as the Morgan library in NYC, and that’s saying something. Also Ned Kelly’s armor was there. He’s a famous bank robber and murderer. Very popular for some reason.

I finally got out to the docklands on the tram.

It’s an area for the rich and boring. One apartment building I saw went for 10,000 a month. Nice, tho.

Dinner was Japanese. Pretty good and filling for 10 bucks. That’s a good deal in Melbourne.

On to Adelaide tomorrow. I have no idea what there is to do there.
