It was David's birthday and an overcast day. So we decided to take it easy.
We went early to the Fish Market which is second to the one in Tokyo. Massive tunas and loads of busy men with massive sharp knives. We took an early breakfast there of sashimi and rice. It was full of workers coming off shift.
We then took the ferry to the volcanic island of Sakurajima in Kinko Bay. Cloudy, so no real view of this active volcano. Maybe better luck tomorrow.
The rest of the day, we walked around the town and had an early supper. The speciality, in fact it only sold, unagi - eel which is sweetened and grilled on an open charcoal grill. Washed down with an excellent sake. The day was complete!
Now to pack up the gear and prepare for the shinkansen train journey tomorrow. Bikes must be packed up in a bag.
