Sometimes, waiting or sacrificing things is actually just opening the door for God to grant us the desires of our hearts in a spectacular way...

Melbourne, Day Two

Today we enjoyed a lovely morning walk to the Melbourne Aquarium along the Yarra River...


The Yarra River, Melbourne

We first encountered the Penguins!  They were a lovely sight and quite entertaining... we could not tell if we were more amused by them or them by us! 

King Penguins



 

As you can see... the shark tank made a shocking impact on the children...


After lunch, we made our way to a highlight of our trip thus far...a cottage in Fitzroy Park.  It is the original home of Captain Cook's family in England...built in 1755.... brought piece by piece to Melbourne in 1934.




The kids enjoyed dressing in 18th Century Costume and we all enjoyed our tour guide who gave us a memorable and well learned experience...  Living history at it's best!

Another day ending with a view of the city...and afternoon tea.
