Thursday 7 August

Today it rained continuously. We had our usual nice breakfast at Gainsville. In 'The Age' free newspaper, there was a feature about the Master of Teaching course. We planned to meet at the NGV, the Melbourne art gallery. They had an exhibition of Italian art from the Prado in Spain. Matthew was late.
In the NGV foyer

First we looked at a William Blake exhibition, and then one of Japanese samurai swords. We had lunch in the Tea Room - a favourite place from our last visit.

A Japanese bento box - very tasty
When Matthew arrived we looked at the Italian classical art from 15th to 18th centuries. We went back to the hotel for a rest. In the evening we all ate at the Chocolate Buddha in Federation Square. I had a bento box. The miso soup was good.

We stepped out into a downpour. We found a dry bar, Amarok, in the Southbank centre for a welcome drink.
