Commonly known as K’ Road – Karangahape Road runs West-East across the lower part of Auckland CBD. Lots of cafes, boutiques, sex shops, take aways …
I visited on a Friday. Stopped in at Pocket Princess – a second hand clothing shop with the cutest name. There is one in Wellington too, but this one is mucho bigger. If you are willing to dig around there are some nifty bits to be gathered. I like that they group their clothing by colour. So you could walk in and throw together a white skirt, top, shawl and shoes within minutes. Next stop was Iko Iko. Gorgeous shop, but somehow the Wellington shop has more personality. Has all sorts of fun books, gimmick gifts, lovely printed tableware, trinkets, mugs, frames, puzzles … you could find a gift for anyone in there. The Third Eye was the next destination. Filled with clothing, scarves, jewellery from India, Thailand, Nepal and such locations. Such a wonderful array of colours – beautiful shop! Stopped in at a Japanese superette. This is noteworthy because there are plenty of Chinese supermarkets all about Auckland, but this was the first Japanese one that I had come across. I am sure there are plenty – just have not been looking out for them. Got myself a bag full of nori sheets, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and wasabi. Also some dipping dishes (see pic below – so pretty!)
