Otara Market





After a very quick trip to the Otara Markets just before Christmas to buy Taro leaves to make Palusami for a Christmas dinner, I was determined to go back soon with the sketchbook. We did that yesterday, and squeezed in a swim at Maraetai on the way back, a nice day!

Otara Market is an excellent place to find Pacific ingredients (we even saw 'banana poke' for sale), here the Taro is being trimmed for display...


I tried sketching the huge crowd as they walked past, with little success...


Spotted this excellent old Kenworth truck being getting loaded at the end of the day...
