Cruise report - Day 4 (Grand Cayman)

Welcome to Grand Cayman! No cruise ships dock on this island, so we dropped anchor and took tender boats to shore. Thankfully, they didn't make me sick at all!


We had no real plans for this day. I had heard about a town called Hell, and their 7-mile beach. I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a tour either.

Luckily, as we started aimlessly walking around, we found a taxi stand that said "$2.50 to Hell, $2.50 to 7-mile beach, etc." Jackpot!!! So we spend $10 on tolls and saw the entire island!

First stop - Hell. It was a total tourist trap - and I loved it. It's just a blob of weird looking black rocks. There is a geological answer for what formed the rocks, but I have no clue what it was. We took some photos, sent ourselves a postcard (which will be postmarked "Hell" - sweet huh?) and grabbed another taxi to the beach.

Once on the beach we just started walking back towards the ship. We didn't want to get sunburned by laying out, and we didn't have our suits on. We could se the ship infront of us, so how far away could it be?

Well about 4-5 miles later, we arrived at the tender boat. We were both pretty tired, but it was fun and exhilarating walk.

Towel animal for the day: Scorpion
