Supermarket, Really! (Papeete, Tahiti, Society Islands)

July 13, 2012

Within walking distance of the marina is the Carrefour supermarket.  It’s huge and the biggest market we’ve seen since California, by far!  It has everything and the prices aren’t bad either.

Wide isles, good produce, well, OK produce.

They carry many of the things we’re used to at home, or at least some variation of them.

The cheese was a highlight – great variety and good prices.

As we don’t have a freezer on board, the expansive frozen isle didn’t do us much good.

And after you’ve bought all you dare, they make it pretty easy to get your groceries home as there is a cart return right at the marina.  By a show of hands, how many of you have tried to push a full grocery cart over dirt pathways?

And I almost forgot, every trip to the market should start with a cappuccino and a croissant.  This cafe is right outside the front doors to the market.  Can you spot half of Legacy’s crew?  The other half is behind the camera, as usual.
