Grand Cayman

Our first stop on the cruise was to Grand Cayman.

I took this picture of Caleb in front of some public toilets, because almost everything in Grand Cayman seemed to be painted in pastels. Now usually here in Canberra if people paint their houses this kind of colour it looks weird....but on an island it just seems to work.

It was a overcast day and also pretty windy, but this didn't stop Caleb and Dave wanting to swim. But their swim only lasted 5 mins because they noticed some small jelly fish in the water. Mind you the jelly fish didn't seem to bother the middle aged women who were also swimming.

To get away from the crowds (there were 3 other cruise ships on the island along with ours) we rented a jeep and drove to quiet side of the island.

After swimming and beach time we drove to Mrs Vivienne's for lunch which is a place where all the locals eat.

We sat outside and enjoyed a great view of the ocean.


Caleb and Dave have so much fun together, they had a lovely time relaxing in the hammocks provided.

We had fried chicken and rice for lunch, it was yum.

The funniest thing about Mrs Vivienne's was that it was at her house....now you may be like that isn't very funny a lot of people live above their restaurants. But there was no restaurant here, just her house and a few tables out the back to sit at, she even cooks from her own kitchen. Just like any other kitchen with cornflakes sitting on the fridge and your normal cupboards and everything.

This was the place across from Mrs Vivienne's, I took the photo to show you the paint...again.

Great Post! I can't wait to see more pictures. Aaaah, that trip was a blast. Ummm, I don't remember middle aged women swimming, oh wait, I think I saw them when I was running away screaming.

Are small jellyfish more or less scary than sea turtles?
