Bike ride, Rum Balls and explosion

Today Sam had a day off so she took us for a bike ride to show us the MSAC (Melbourne Sport and Aquatic Centre) and some other places. It was a very nice day, the sun was shining and it was not so windy.

The first stop was at a park called St. Kilda Botanical Gardens.

In the background you can see the man with the umbrella in the pond. It was cool!

Here can you read more about the "Rainman".

When the sun is shining, the rainman gets rain and when the sun is gone and the rainman stands in the shadow, it stops to rain on him.

We went inside a greenhouse where we found some interesting plants and fishes.

 

Woooow!

Uhm? What happened here?

Then we continued our ride to MSAC. We rode past this old theatre...

...and here is an old fun park. In the park there is a roller coaster where they use a handbrake to stop it.

Then we rode to Albert park and took some pictures by the lake with the big city in the background.

 

Then we went past the MSAC (unfortunately we did not take any pictures of it, but it was high-tech and huge).

We ate lunch at a nice restaurant with a great view of the bay (the beach was just behind us).

Maybe it does not look very good but it tasted well.

This is a picture from the way home.

 

After school there were lots coming up. Imagine a house full with seven kids, one parent and an exploded showerdoor = chaos. But most of it went okay.

This afternoon we tried out the traditional "Rum Balls", but with no rum. They look like "Chokladbollar" but does not taste the same.

We also need to tell you about these lovely yoghurt-muesli-bars! They are so yummy! This is what you eat between the meals here. They call it "snack". Snack can also be a sandwich or a muffin or something else.
