Footnote: There was a sad lack of Set, but since it's all from New Kingdom you have to expect that.
Okay, I hardly took any photos at all in Melbourne but here's a few of the ones I did take
When we got to the hotel in Melbourne I actually squealed quite loudly (enough that the ladies behind the counter both looked at me) because there was this massive cardboard Anubis in the lobby. I took a sneaky photo from a sitting position.
Sneaky sneaky. And then on the last day I finally went down and thought 'screw it, these people can watch me be a dork' then I posed with my boy Anubis and we had some deep discussions about the Egyptian afterlife and what he was up to these days. (Mostly being made evil in movies, he said.)
I discovered the glory that is Aldi supermarkets where everything costs, like, nothing. I bought too much fancy cheese and then sat in the hotel room eating it off a teaspoon because there were no knives and I forget to buy any sort of crackers. I'm just that classy, you guys.
I also took a photo of their wine because, holy crap, $3 wine? That's got to be so horrible I can't even imagine it.
If I'd been allowed to take photos inside the King Tut exhibit you would now have to be seeing three thousand pictures of mini sun barges, and crook and flails, and sistrums, and cows, and canopic jars, all with excited little drawn on bits to tell you which sections of the hieroglyphs I could totally translate and probably reflections of me in the glass with my face like this :D
But alas all you can have of the exhibition is this photo of when I was going in...
...and this one of when I was coming out two hours later
That would be my happy face. And these would be my museum purchases:
