Shop & Eat @ Tauranga

The town is slightly crowded on Thursday and Friday as everyone come out for shopping after wages is out on Thursday. Although it is not a big city, but you can get everything from head to toe from here. There are boutiques, banks, house decoration shops, post office, bars, fast food, dental, pharmacy, coffee shop, information center, supermarket and etc in the town. So, it’s worth to pay a one-day-visit to Tauranga with your buddies.

Fish Market @ Tauranga

Tauranga is a popular city in Bay of Plenty region of north island of New Zealand. The city is full of shops, restaurants and bars. We visited Tauranga for few times to pamper ourselves with nice food and retail therapy after we got our wages. :P

Tauranga Fish Market is famous with its freshness seafood and cheap price. We never know it until our friend told us that we must give a try on the fish and chips, it is super-duper delicious and fresh. We, lazy girls never do homework to search for the Fish Market location before we go to Tauranga, so we spent some times to ask around for it. Finally, we found it after a long walk. In fact, is it located not far away from Tauranga Port, just follow the rail way, walk straight until you pass by a small garden, you will see the Fish Market in front of you.

Passing by the rail way on the way to Fish Market

Just walk straight to the end of the road, you will see Fish Market on your right side after a junction (Rail way is on your right side)

 Pretty girl with nice scene.

 Yeah, here we are.

 Although the shop is not very big, but customers are coming in non-stop.

 Choose your favourite fish and they will fry for you on the spot

Mt.Maunganui - Hiking

Guess what? This was the third time we been to Mount Maunganui, it isn’t an attractive town as some other big towns , but we just like it, maybe it is near to Te Puke where we work.  We went for different activities every time, this time we went for hiking~
