Aquarium at the Darling Harbour

The aquarium in Sydney is one of the most popular tourist destinations . Since Somil , my colleague and a good friend was coming down from Bangalore along with another colleague , I was pretty excited . I was very desperate to have a view of this aquarium and finally Somil and I went there on a Sunday afternoon .

The aquarium is located at the Darling Harbour ,which is a beautiful place . It acts as the starting point for most of the cruises that take you around Sydney . It also has this aquarium and a wild life sanctuary and loads of restaurants which make huge business coz of the location . Basically, its an ideal place for tourists !!

After having lunch at a n Italian restaurant where I had vegetarian risotti and Somil had Burito , we headed towards the Aquarium after a short photo session at this picturesque Darling Harbour. This is my friend Somil - as he claims , " intolerably handsome !!"With this ,we went in and what followed was a .splendid and a sensational experience which is very difficult to describe . I have put in many of the pics that I thought were interesting and this post and the following posts shows you different kinds of fish that are present in this heavenly place . Here goes....
We saw loads oish and loads of them !! These were like the starters . All the small and the cute ones came first before they paved the way for the big ones !!!
Another variety which was part of the hordes of different kinds of Australian Bass fish . These are extensively found in the ocean. My friend was just wondering , rather his mouth was watering at the thought of tasting this. Shame on you Somil !!
This variety was called the Macquire perch. More plumpy than many of the other ones.
This was the Crocodile !!! There were a few crocodiles and alligators. There was a very interesting board which said that crocodile meat tastes like chicken as they have the ingredient white chicken which makes them taste very much like chicken that people love to eat!! Not the greatest of thoughts atleast from my perspective, I must confess !!

Bur(r)ito is a Mexican dish. There's no such things as a risotti although there is Risotto. So you must have been to an Italican/Mexilian place.
Thanks for the enlightening observation that plenty of Australian sea bass are available (where else?) in the sea.
And who's afraid of shark eggs?
And instead of the one million pics, just one of yourself (or your intolerabl(e)(y handsome) friend) swimming with the sharks would have made this blog come alive - just like JAWS!
