Tourist Traps? What Tourist traps. No Disneyland here. The closest thing to a tourist trap would be the 'Flea Market'. The market runs every Saturday at 8:00 am at the west end of the main town of Avarua. The locals gather to sell everything including fresh baked cakes, pots of hot food, jewelry, plants, fresh fish and fresh fruits and juices. Clothing is also sold. WestPac Bank opens a branch on site. The locals also gather for conversation, to sample the food and purchase their goods they need.
