Touring the Cayman Islands by Sea, Land and Air.

Harbor view
Paradise is located here in the Cayman Islands
To protect the reefs we "park" the ship offshore.
We get Tendered into the waterfront and as there's lots of people on these massive ships, book your shore departure early so you don't miss any of the sights.
Forgot to mention, we aren't the only visitors to this paradise (lol).......so play nice, as there will be crowds everywhere.
George Town (the capital) and main street.  Don't let the "small town" feel fool you, there's a population of 27,000+ and over 600 Bank/Trust Companies set up here.
Beautiful Waterfront area
The local award winning spirits....the Rumcake was good too!
Home in the interior of the island.
Stingray City;  Because years of the local fishermen cleaning their catches and throwing the remains into the water, the Southern Stingray associates the sound of the boat motor with food in these shallow waters (because of the sandbars)....then us humans can enjoy an inter-reaction with nature.
Hell Town:  Because of the black limestone formations, folklore has it that a local official said "This is what hell must look like".......and the name stuck.
Beach home to rent or own.
The famous Seven Mile Beach;  Located on the Western Shore and open to the public, its actually only 5.5 miles long due to erosion but as you can see a wonderful walk.

Lets get airborne
The next few pics say it all!!
