Cruising, Grand Cayman

 

 

2014-03-11 11.12.39Since we had been previously visited Grand Cayman, we were in no really hurry to leave the Conquest which involved a tendering process.

 

 

 

 

Around 10am we head to the lower level of the ship and with no clear signs posted for disembarkation, we wander with a few other passengers looking for the cheese at the end of the maze. This certainly was not one of the better tendering experiences that we have had while cruising.

After waiting for about twenty five minutes for the tender to fill up we are soon enjoying the tropical breezes of Grand Cayman as we leave the Conquest behind for a few hours.

The planned highlight of our shore visit is to snorkel at Devil's Grotto and Eden Rock.

 

 

2014-03-11 12.59.22A short walk from the tender port and we are at Paradise Restaurant, a bright green building.

Here for $18 a person we get snorkel gear for the day, a small locker and free Wi-Fi along with some of the most awesome off shore snorkeling we have done.

 

 

Devil's Grotto and Eden Rock is a must if you visit Grand Cayman.

 

 

2014-03-11 14.53.26A walk around town and I purchase a $5 souvenir hat for $3 but have to change my name to Deshon.

 

 

 

 

 

At Breezes for lunch, we overlook the waterfront as we enjoy conch fritters, delicious wings and sliders all while surviving a “Category 5”. The 151 goes down smooth well hidden and blended with other flavors that make being in the Caribbean fun.
