19 October
Japan: Tsukiji Market

"You must go to Tsukiji Fish Market" everyone said. "but you have to get there at 5.00am for the Tuna auction". 5am mmmm! Our (rubbish) guidebook said that although the auctions are at 5am there's lots to see right up until lunchtime. So we had breakfast and took a slow amble across town to arrive at 11am and.... everything was packed up and we were the only people wandering around an empty market. Oh well... next time.

the aroma is lingering though! Nicely composed barrows
