George Town, Grand Cayman

September 20th, 2012

Good Morning from Grand Cayman! Today we are off on a world wind tour of Grand Cayman with stops in Hell, the Tortuga Rum Cake factory, the Sea Turtle Farm and Sting Ray City - sit back and enjoy the ride!

The Lusters in Hell :)

Nana and Andy in Hell 

Limestone Formation - some say this is what Hell looks like and that is how the town got it's name



Next stop - the Tortuga Rum Cake Factory!  Whats not to love...samples of rum cake and rum!




Off to the Cayman Turtle Farm...

So after our visit to the Turtle Farm we took the bus to a dock to catch a boat out to Sting Ray City.  There you can swim with the stingrays!  I was a little nervous as the boat was heading pretty far from shore and I was wondering how this was going to work.  When we arrived, at Sting Ray City I discovered it was a huge sand bar - so you can stand out in the middle of the ocean!   John, Papa and I hopped right out of the boat.  Jack and weren't so sure :)

Me and a Ray!




While we were out at Sting Ray City we were watching a storm brew off shore - we made it back to port and on the tender before it started to pour!  The Carnival Cruise ship guests, weren't so lucky!
