Before heading out on vacation, I started planning for a nice photo-post of the Wellington Night Markets. I was dead keen to get it photographed and written before heading home, but in my desperation, I failed to string words together. So, this time I’m skipping the words and getting on with it. Better late than never, right?

I’m a big fan of street food, especially stuff you can nibble on while moving

The Mexican shop hot chocolate tastes great, but is hard to photograph in the dark. Luche libre masks are much easier.

Before the crowds comes the frantic set-up. It wasn’t actually frantic. Some of the booths stayed empty for an hour or two.

The queue for this spicy soup was huge. This appeared to be the crowd favourite on the night.

Nothing says “night market” like little lanterns.

What do people think of the markets? Best food? Best bargain? Does anyone actually buy anything at the “craft” stalls?
