In-Depth Information
Fresh milk is available in large towns and tourist areas, but harder to find on smaller
islands. Supermarkets are the best place to look. Formula is available almost everywhere,
as is condensed and heat-treated milk. Disposable nappies are also available everywhere,
although it's wise to take extra supplies of all of these things to out-of-the-way islands in
case of local shortages.
