Friday 11 June (continued) - attended the Vienna Boys Concert at the Tokyo Opera Concert Hall in Shinjuku at 7pm. Then it was a slow stroll back to our hotel for the night.

Saturday 12 June - left early for the Tsukiji Fish Market in the morning. It sure was a busy place, and needed also to make a choice which sushi place to go in for the freshest seafood. Returned to the hotel by 12.30 pm to get ready for the afternoon Vienna Boys Concert - yup, the second one we are attending! We got free tickets for this second concert!

After the concert at 4pm, we watched the crowds with amusement as they ran after a few Vienna Boys who had come out to say hi and pose for pictures. My word, these were some crazy fans! Took the train to their hotel in the evening, and walked to the Roppongi area for shopping. Walked to Tokyo Tower for dinner before a very hasty trot back to the hotel to send the boys back for the night.

Sunday 13 June - Shopping Day! We headed for Harajuku for lunch and a day of shopping. Takeshita Dori was packed full of mostly young teens and many tourists. Then a quick stroll to the Meiji Shine for a look-see, and took the train back to Shinjuku for another round of shopping at Takashimaya Times Square.

Dinner was a huge basin of ramen with pork in a tiny basement shop which could seat about 20 people at most. Found it by being very brave and descending into the depths without knowing what was there!

Monday 14 June - checked out of hotel before 10 am. Went for hair cuts and last tour of Shinjuku with breakfast and lunch. It drizzled for the whole morning.

Returned to hotel by 1.30 pm to catch the Airport Limousine Bus to the airport. After checking in, it was one last round of shopping before our flight home at 645 pm.
