Where to start....



I really don't know what to say about Tokyo...

Its massive! So big, so varied, so much to do and so little time! We really are only going to scratch the surface.
This morning we got up at 5.15am to catch the action at the Tokyo fish market. Largest in the world - anything from the sea, they have, plus some!
For b'fast had the freshest and best sushi and sashimi I have ever had.


Wandered through Ginza the 'posh' part of town (Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton etc) to the Imperial Palace which was a bit of a let down cause they don't let people inside, let alone into the gardens. So you can hardly see the place due to the moats and walls and ancient fortifications.



Visited my mandatory stop in every city... The Apple Store. I love those places. Plus the free internet cannot be passed by.
Lunch was some noodle thing, and dumplings. There is so much to choose from, and so much variation, and its so delicious!

Wandered round Sensoji, a massive Buddhist temple and shrine in the afternoon, watched the sun set from the Asahi Sky Room looking over Tokyo while enjoying an Asahi, ate another completely different meal for dinner and its now 9pm and I'm ready for bed!


This place is so cool. Each little area is completely different to the next one. There is so much to explore. It's going to be an action packed couple of days!
