Even though I have been to the Caribbean many times I had never been to the Cayman Islands. We did stop at the Grand Cayman Island but had to anchor at a spot other than George Town because of large swells. It is amazing how fast they were able to accommodate this change. We ended up with local tenders and shuttle buses that took us to the city center of George Town which was about three miles away.
The Grand Cayman Island reminded me a lot of Nassau but not as nice. I enjoyed my walk about town but I was back on the ship within an hour and a half. The beaches did look wonderful from afar and I can see the draw from that standpoint. If my daughter and grandson were with me we would have gone to the beach for the day.
I enjoy watching the local folks but this photo reminded me that the local folk are also watching the alien visitors.
We played at the turtle hatchery when we were there. Also saw Hell. It wasn't worth the money to book it on the cruse, but it was a good taxi ride away. It's a pretty place, but so similar to all the other islands out there. A great place to hide money though. Hehe
