19 June, Tues - Day 4, Melbourne

Puffing Billy was the plan for today. We drove to Belgrave Station to catch the 1215 train for a 1.5hour train rider to Lakeside Station. It was freezing cold as we were in an open windowed carriage. Kaitlyn fell asleep. Kieran, with his love for trains (what more steam engines which resembled Thomas and his friends) thoroughly enjoyed it.

Honestly, if it were just Ron and I, we wouldn't have planned a ride on Puffing Billy. We got all sooty and there was really nothing much to do at Lakeside Station before catching the train back to Belgrave. The things we do for our kids. Thing we never thought we would. :) But the smile that our sacrifices put on their faces is just priceless.
