点评:Alarm at 05.00 and on the road 30 minutes later. Arriving at Boeremark for 06.30 and parking the car took a good 10 minutes before a space was found ; here it fills up early, here it is popular. It had been suggested that this market is much more authentic ( alongside a hint of managing expectation ) than the Oranjezicht City Farm market in Cape Town. I can now report that I enjoyed both equally. Certainly the Pretoria site is vast and the customers are very much locals, with all demographics represented. And the quality and variety of products is top drawer ; lots of stalls offering the very best homemade, home produced fayre. I wandered through very many offerings and effectively sampled in a tapas style manner, a fantastic array of typical South African food. Everything really was delicious and the prices represented great value. There’s livestock and musicians to officially entertain, but people watching and indulging the energised and happy vibe was arguably more than enough. All done by 09.00, this was a super way to kick start the day ahead.
翻译:早上五点闹钟响起,半小时后出发。六点半到达博尔马克市场,停车花了足足十分钟;这里很早就停满了,真是太受欢迎了。有人说这个市场比开普敦的奥兰治齐特城市农场市场更地道(当然,也暗示着要降低预期)。现在我可以负责任地说,两个市场我都非常喜欢。比勒陀利亚的这个市场规模庞大,顾客也几乎都是当地人,各个阶层的人都有。商品的品质和种类都堪称一流;很多摊位都出售最优质的自制美食。我漫步在琳琅满目的摊位间,像吃西班牙小吃一样,品尝了各种各样典型的南非美食。每一样都美味可口,价格也很实惠。虽然这里有牲畜和音乐家表演,但光是看看熙熙攘攘的人群,感受一下这里充满活力和欢乐的氛围,就已经足够让人流连忘返了。早上9点前全部完成,这真是开启美好一天的绝佳方式。
