We're here and off to a busy start... Last night we arrived at the hotel around 6, found a quick bite to eat and crashed by 8pm. Felt like 4am our time...
This morning I woke up at 2 but didn't get Claire up until 4:30 :-) we were soon off to the morning fish market at Tsujiki, where we saw all the wholesalers with tonnes of every kind of fish... lots of huge frozen tuna being cut up with bandsaws. Lots of cool pictures there, but not on this phone sorry...
We had a good fish breakfast before 8... a big sashimi bowl for me and a broiled whole fish in teriyaki sauce for Claire.
Then off on the monorail over the Rainbow Bridge to Odabai, where we visited the bird sanctuary, nature park, and aquarium.
We headed back into Ginza for a very good but late east indian lunch and then shopped the Ginza district (didn't buy) until rush hour. Finally back to our hotel with a final stop along the way for a good dinner from the local department store... I need to write a lot more about food shopping here, its interesting but I'm too tired now. And two-thumb typing on my phone is too slow.
Anyway, a great but very long day on our feet for over 12 hours. Our hotel has an Onsen (Japanese hot baths) which we're planning to try tonight.
And then to bed, and hope that the jet lag fades and I can sleep in tomorrow!
