15 January 2025 New Caledonia: The Morning Market

 

We made it to the morning market down by the docks.  There was a food area and a souvenir area.  The food was mostly veggies and fruit with a separate area for cooked items.  We picked up some tomatoes, cucumbers, a mango and some mushrooms.  We had already stocked up at the HyperMart just a day
 or so earlier so we did not need much.  The souvenirs were mostly clothing, sarongs, summer dresses and hats, but we did find some exquisite shell jewelry.  We picked up a few pieces that were distinctly New Caledonian.  Then back to the house to drop off the foodstuffs



So many sarongs
