Mangos from the Marigot Market


Time to fill the stores. With fresh food. We try the fruit and veggie market in Marigot on the French side. There's enough wares in the stalls to fill our bags with passion fruit, mangos, pineapple, christophenes, pumpkins, tomatoes. But we don't find any fresh eggs. The French side is somewhat more cosy than the Dutch. At least around the harbour area. But like the on Dutch side there's heavy traffic and billboard bombarded roads, dirty, dingy buildings lining them.
Back at Le Grand Marché we order meat, deep frozen, vacuum-packed, to be picked up tomorrow.
Tomorrow "Sedna" is leaving. Then us, the day after.
