Ah the Pretoria Farmer's Market. Begins at 5am and is all closed up by 9. People will sometimes drive for the entire night simply to sell their produce here. You can pretty much buy everything under the sun, from Afrikaans books to fresh indian curry spice!

The place is always bustling, there is music blasing over the loud speakers, interrupted intermittently with a man who yells out (in Afrikaans) all the good deals and the best places to buy this or that item.

We were picked up by Nikki at 6:50am and had arrived by quarter past 7. I got that entire box of fresh produce for less than R100. about $20. Now thats better than H & W! Sorry Dad, you've just been scooped. i'll be complaining about the high prices next time i go there!
