08.35 am – Woke up to another heart healthy breakfast.
10.46 am – After these 3 were ready, we began our day by waiting for the tram.
11.10 am – Arrived at the location where
the works of art from Stadel Museum in Germany were making a stopover in Melbourne. The Städel owns 2,700 paintings and a collection of 100,000 drawings and prints as well as 600 sculptures. It has around 4,000 m² of display and a library of 100,000 books and 400 periodicals.
This place was called the National Gallery of Victoria.

We brought out our double ticket bought on Day 6 during our visit to ACMI and
entered the European Masters showroom. I saw both Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh’s masterpieces besides many others. Have you seen a Picasso/Van Gogh before? 
I also saw lots of antiques from Egypt, China, etc.
01.46 pm – After all the walking looking at paintings, we arrived at St Kilda the beach.
We took a stroll along the many, many restaurants along the stretch and decided on Lilydale’s free range chicken for lunch.
Or is it called Chook Bar’s free range chicken?

02.43 pm – Upon arrival at St Kilda beach, I saw tall and short palm trees.
