haha! The otara markets are great for fresh fruit/veg and funny t shirts etc, Chris is part samoan and so loves going there for a feed too

The Aotea square markets are really cool, food stalls and the AUT student designers etc do clothing, you can pick up one offs really cheap all sorts of stuff there, I rate it, you can park at the civic car park for about 5 dollars or so.

Hope you have fun up here!]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:04:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15691&PID=336667&title=auckland-markets#336667 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15691&PID=336640&title=auckland-markets#336640 Author: Bombshell
