Tuesday 29 May 2007 - George Town, Grand Cayman.

Grand Cayman

Woken at 6am with breakfast being delivered and watched our arrival at Cayman. Very flat, not a hill in sight. Another Carnival cruise ship was in port and another cruise ship arrived just after us. Cruise ships anchor off and tenders run back and forth all day. The water is crystal clear. We went ashore to explore. The town is all about tourism and there are lots of jewellery shops, bars, duty free shops and souvenir shops. They drive on the left and have both left and right hand drive cars. Chickens rule the streets and drivers have to give way to them. We decided against a trip to Seven Mile Beach and didn't want to do any snorkelling, so just walked around town and bought a couple of souvenirs and a bottle of duty free Mount Gay Rum. There was an informative square with the history of the islands. We also saw caged iguanas and macaws - poor things.

We had had enough by about 1pm and the last tender was at 3pm, so we came back to the ship. Vegged out for the afternoon. Tonight we are going to a show.

Hi Heather and Dad

By the sounds of things you guys are having a very relaxing time on the cruise. All is well here and Steve has said that Sly is making himself comfortable on his lap. We had 30ml of rain last weekend and it is raining again tonight. Miss you both heaps and look forward to the photos from the crusie.

Love Tan and Phil
