Cruise (Cayman Islands)

The 2nd port of call on our cruise was Grand Cayman In the Cayman Islands. This was our favorite port and I'm pretty sure I could live there forever. It is beautiful. We were supposed to be able to swim with Sting Rays that day but the water was too rough so our shore excursion was cancelled. It really was okay because we had a blast. We walked around town for a while and browsed and shopped. We had lunch at Jimmy Buffet's and it was so much better than the food in Mexico! We sat on an outside deck and this is the view he saw as we talked and ate.

After we ate we decided to take a cab to Seven Mile Beach. It is seven miles of the most beautiful sand you can imagine and crystal clear blue water. The first thing we did was rent a jet ski, and I really wish I had a picture of this because we took it out in the ocean and the first thing James does is tump the jet ski over and we went falling into the ocean. I was half laughing half freaking out over my fear of jellyfish. It really was fun, once we got back on.
After the jet ski, I rented a lounge chair and James rented snorkel gear. There was a reef right near us and here are some pictures he took with the underwater camera.


                         We spent several relaxing hours on the beach just soaking in the view.

At the end of the day we headed back to the ship and crashed fast asleep. The Cayman Islands are amazing. We hope we can go back again.
