Melbourne, why so cold?!
Anything fun on in the city today? We have some time to explore on foot, assuming we don't freeze.

Ancient Egyptian stuff at NGV?

Thinking more CBD etc. We're on Bourke st at Spencer st end. Think we'll jump on a city bound tram and see what we see.

Ok, want to see this just so I can say "went to Melbourne, saw poop".. but ticket prices turn me off.

If you're there all week, its half-price on Friday.

I'm still trying to figure out the point of it all, personally. But if this is the sort of shit you're into, then save it until Friday.

Nah, only if it were free.. can't see it being entertaining for more than 5 minutes.

I think the most fun you can have today is somewhere with blankets and high powered heating

I may have dozed off for another couple of hours after my post. I blame jetlag from Perth, also I'm on holiday and the bed was cozy and warm.
