London Aquarium with Carly

Last weekend I finally caught up with Carly, we had originally planned to either see Hampton Court Palace or a play at Shakespear's Globe, but the typical London weather wasen't going to play along. Instead we did what all Londoner's do when the sky turns foul, museums/galleries/exhabitions. We met up at the London Aquarium, which I was told, has been featured in a number of films (must be chick flicks, because I don't really know which ones). Anyway, Carly and I spent better part of Saturday morning wondering around tanks of rare and exotic fish. Summary of the highlights:

• Fish from the Thames (believe it or not, there's life in them waters).
• Sharks and rays and huge deep sea fish in a tank with Easter Island head ornaments.
• Tropical fish, I think no matter how many times you see colourful fish it's still exciting.
• Fish from South America and Africa.

On a similar theme Carly told me about these giant catfish that was caught in the Mekong a few years ago. Incredibly rare, the villagers that caught it however did what you probably think they did...yes they ate it.
