Provisioning

It has been very interesting trying to provision at all of
the islands. Today we have been in around eight different supermarkets
searching for items on our shopping list. One shop may have some yoghurts,
another a tin of tomatoes and another some cartons of milk and fruit juice. We managed to buy some fresh produce from the local market
and we got a tray of beers from the bakery as well as a couple of homemade
scones ! The supermarket shelves are very scarcely stocked and one
jar that I looked at was three years past the sell by date. I could have bought along all that junk out of my cupboards
at home and set up shop here ! Oh .. I forgot to say yesterday that the reef where Roundabout
went aground was called ‘Roundabout Reef’ ! We are leaving early in the morning to head for Bonaire. |
