Grand Cayman Islands

May 3, 2012

Goodbye Miami and hello Caymans!

We had to take a tender boat to get onto shore and then from there take a drive to our destination.

The Cayman’s waters was absolutely beautiful. I kept pinching myself at what I was seeing. It’s my first time in the Caribbean and seeing waters this crystal clear was surreal and so inviting. I just wanted to dive in and that’s A LOT coming from me since I have a bit of a fear of what’s in the ocean.

I have never gone snorkeling and was advised to put on a life vest on since our waters were a bit choppy that day. Unfortunately all our underwater pics came out blurry because of the rough waters.

I look so discombobulated in this picture because just minutes before I was whacked to the side of the boat by the choppy waters.

Snorkeling was tons of fun even though at times it was challenging. I couldn’t believe I was swimming in the Barrier Reef and seeing all the different corals and fishes I only have seen at the aquarium.

When our snorkeling was done we hopped back onto the boat and headed to Stingray City. Stingray City is located in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Grand Cayman’s North Sound. This was reallllllly cool. We all got to hold a giant stingray and feed them squid. There are also lots of other stingrays of all sizes swimming all around you. I definitely advise going here if you are in the Caymans.

I had held this squid for the longest time since no stingrays wanted to eat it. The stingrays were just not hungry I guess so I decided to be silly with it.

The view from our balcony after a fantastic day at the Cayman Islands, a great ending!
