Georgetown, Grand Cayman









The harbor at Grand Cayman is too shallow for the cruise ships to dock. So, they have to drop anchor further out and then tender tourists to the island. The first picture is of the tender behind the one I was in.
On our tour of the island we went to the Turtle Farm. They raise Green Sea Turtles for food there. The place was just so cool. We could hold them and take pictures. It was just a blast.
The next picture is of Hell, Grand Cayman. It's a natural limestone formation. The locals have taken advantage of the tourist situation and put a store and a post office there to take advantage of the fact that you can now say: "I've been to Hell". And of course you can send all of your friends a postcard from Hell as well.
Finally, Margaritaville is where we had lunch that day. Really great Conch Fritters!
