Spring 2012 – Day 6

Ready to go to Grand Cayman

When we awoke we were anchored off the island of Grand Cayman and its capital, George Town. George Town, while it is the capital, is just another small tourist sea port and there isn’t much in the city to see except tourist shops and banks. It is a major banking center because of its tax-haven status.

In the two trips that we have been to Grand Cayman, we have done everything that we wanted to do and while they have a beautiful 7-maile beach, the deck of the ship is also great for getting a good tan.

So we went to the tender station at 10am and boarded the tender boat for the trip to shore and spent the next couple of hours in the tourist shops and also getting what we needed, Kahula and Pepsi.

At noon, it was time to go back to the ship and eat lunch and relax on the deck, which we did. As usual, Barb has a deeper tan than Ed does and Ed’s forehead is pealing!!!

On the tender to the island

At 3:30 pm, we came in and Ed took a nap while Barb walked around. Our daily schedule is usually that Ed gets up first while Barb sleeps a little. Then in the afternoon, Ed naps while Barb walks around – it all works out and then we are ready for the evening entertainment.

The show was terrible – an individual who thought he was funny and very few others did!

Dinner was excellent and we have had wonderful service.

After dinner, of course we went to the casino where Barb only lost a little and Ed was up.

Our Ship

We set the clock back an hour tonight so that will be great for sleeping.

Tomorrow we arrive at Costume and we have a fun day planned.
