Every Sunday, in rain or shine, farmers go to sell their goods at the Harbourside Market in Wellington.
Locals from far and wide come to get their fresh produce at affordable rates. There are quite a few stalls, so it's best to shop around for a good deal. My dad sometimes plays a game in which he tries to find the largest vegetable he can for $1.
There are a range of eat-and-go stalls here too, including crepes, Fritz's Weiners, churros and pizza (made from a portable wood-fired oven). This stall is called "Excuse My French".
A little fishing boat christened "Crystal Princess" is pulled up to the dock to sell freshly caught fish, but you have to get in quick as it sells fast.
Marathons and 5Ks often go in part around the waterfront. The route is blocked off so they don't get stuck by crowds of people, and I found this high visibility sign fairly amusing.
This rather impressive mural is to bring attention to the dangers of shark finning. It spans the entire side of a car parking buildings across from the market. I really like how much detail has been put in, as each shark has its own personality.
