Can you believe this carb fest??? Yes that is half a loaf of bread with cream, ice-cream & banana on it. There were about 4-6 flavours to choose from. Who eats this stuff??
Because having a top of the range BMW wasn`t enough this owner had the symbol on the bonnet done in diamante`s!!! Want one of these Stacy??
Another dinner of Korean BBQ, we like these as we know what we are getting. We also got lots of fresh veg with this one. Yum..We went to the famous Tokyo fish market yesterday morning. We did not bother trying to get to the tuna auctions as they are at 5:30. We got there around 7:30 for a wander around and to get a feel for the place. Mark was loving it from a retail/wholesale point of view. It was amazingly chaotic with men pulling ancient trolleys with orders on the back to literally 1,000`s of little vehicles which the drivers stood on and were also able to carry about 10 cases on the back. All craziness... the poor workers are having to doge sticky-beaking tourists like us everywhere as well as locals buying their one fish in a bag of water.
From there we wandered to the Ginza area. This is retail heaven and we chose it as a shopping day. We are not normally intentional with our shopping when away. Just usually buying something if we see it during our travels. Around 2:00pm they close one of the roads to cars. They also put a few tables and chairs out for exhausted tourists and locals. Here I am in the middle of the street enjoying blessed relief to be off my feet.
The cross street became a free for-all when the crossing lights went green. Try and spot the aussie bloke loving the madness.
After another couple of hours wandering we were thrilled to stop for a coffee in one of the best seats around. This is the view from our table.
And here I am at the table. We really do love the vibrancy of a big city as much as amazing and relaxing rural scenery.Early evening we stopped for a pampering of 30min foot and calf massage. Delicious for our tired feet. We finished off with dinner at a Teppenyaki bar. Mark has been keen to go to one for the whole trip and was not disappointed. He even had teppenyaki ice-cream for dessert, which was a bit like crepe suzette with fruit and ice-cream warmed and half melted on the grill. He said it was great!
