February 16 – Wandering the Town and Harry Potter

We have a good day, and it’s our last day in Melbourne, so we are off to see some more of the town.  Melbourne has an interesting skyline.

And we wandered along the Yarra River again.

We found a small lane with a lot of street art

The large park had a pretty memorial to emergency services workers...

and even the cottage, moved from England, that belonged to the parents of Captain James Cook, explorer and discoverer of the Hawaiian Islands and Australia.

In the afternoon we went to the Princess Theater for a production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  It was five hours long and in two parts.  First part at 2:00 and the second at 7:30.  We went back to the hotel in between the parts and also had dinner.  Great show.
