Riccarton Market

Today, our goal was to check out an outdoor market in Riccarton, a suburb of Christchurch.  It is held every Sunday at the racecourse, and I imagined it to be like the Farmer's Market in the Old Market.  It was much much bigger!  We took a new bus route over there, and after lots of walking to even get into the market, we found it sprawling with booths, people, and stuff!  There were produce stalls, fair foods, rummage sales, crafts, jewelry, and so much more.  It was a bit overwhelming, so we didn't stay long...but long enough for our favorite German bratwurst we've found here, and a giant pineapple-raspberry snow cone!  Yum!

 

  

  

 

We finished the day with a tour of yet another mall, where we found another American store, Borders.  We perused the books, stumbled right into a whole section devoted to Warren Buffett (so many Omaha signs) and headed home.  A wonderful, new day!
