The first stop was at the Sydney Fish Market. We took the Light rail who had a stop there. Boy oh Boy oh Boy!!! Seafood Galore!! After stooping around for a while, we started the feast with some cooked fresh prawns.
Fresh is the word! And all around the market, there were tons of fresh seafood. There are many people rushing around to buy the delicious stuff to satisfy their tastebuds.
Check out the oyster bars!! Cool like dont know what as the staff pop open the oysters with experienced flicks of their knife.
There are also live crabs and live lobsters for you to purchase and buy. We really saw a few lobsters that are BIGGER than little girls. OR in chinese, " Long Xia Da Guo Xiao Nu Hai!!!"
We ate till we almost burst with seafood. hahahaa.......
Next up is shopping!!! lots of shopping as we arrive at Paddy's Haymarket (near China town). We bought a lot of souvenirs and stuff. It was a pretty big place and lots of different types of stuff to buy. In the end, we carried bags of T-shirts, magnets, shot glasses, key chains etc etc......back into our hotels before we can come out again. Lucky we forecast this and bought an unlimited train ride ticket for the day.
After a short rest, we were back up on our feet and on our way to Darling Harbour. Darling Harbour is a nice shopping place beside the sea with lots of attractions. I only had eyes for one as the Mrs dutifully accompanied me into the Sydney Aquarium!
Once inside the aquarium, i was lost in my favourite world. Nothing distracts me more than fishes. We spend almost 3 hours inside as the beautiful world of the underworld whirls around us with Dugongs, Sharks, Sea Turtles, Lobsters, Crabs, Penguins and tons and tons of fish...... No need to write more... Check out the photos.....
After the aquarium tour, we walked around Darling Harbour and had our dinner at this little japanese place. Not too fantastic though.. so i cant remember the name of the restaurant. hahahaa...
As it was Darling harbour's 21st Anniversary, there is a fireworks display scheduled that evening. A bit of an extravagant display, but hey! What's not to be done to lift the gloomy recession mood..... Very very nice though and truly enjoyable.... and a great way to round off the day.... (albeit we did one short stop for some food at Chinatown... was really tempted by the tou hwa that night... hahahaaahaha....)
