Moving from place to place we have a habit of bringing enough supplies for the kids the first few days, to avoid having to run out of diapers etc. Now it was time to find baby food. No problem, said our hotel hosts, they have a huge well sorted supermarket in Portsmouth, which is half an hour away.

Well. it was in deed a well stocked supermarket (who buys frozen ready-to-eat plates of pancakes and sausage?). But no baby foods. So, we asked around in all the local super market and pharmacy without luck. A little in despair, we discussed what to do. So far we have made baby foods ourselves, because we have had kitchens – and used ready made foods for days on the run. But now, without a kitchen…hm… We asked a local how far it was to the capital Roseau, 45 minutes he said, so we decided to go for it.

So we set off to Roseau. It is a drive along the coast, so very different from the mountain tracks.

They do like their colors!
In Roseau, first thing we see is this:

We decided to get the business done before sightseeing, so we started at the biggest supermarket. No baby foods. Next one, none. Pharmacy, none, but they directed us to another super market next to KFC. Found KFC but no super market. It was hidden behind it – and voila! Baby foods! By then it felt like we had covered every street of Roseau, there was no time left for sightseeing. And I will tell you, that Roseau is the first Caribbean place where there is NO breeze. I mean none. As baked as fresh cinnamon rolls we got back into the air conditioned car, exhausted, and drove home with the catch of the day.
And she will not starve
