To Hell And Back



Arrival at Georgetown, Grand Cayman was at 10:00am under clear skies and a warm tropical temperature.   This island was discovered by Columbus who originally named it Las Tortugas after the multitude of sea turtles he found.  Everyone made their way to the ship’s tenders and headed ashore.  We were lucky and caught the very first tender.  Then it was off to Hell.  That’s correct, you didn’t read this wrong, we really went to the small village named Hell.  There’s not much there except some rough looking rock formations, a Post Office, and a general store with souvenirs.

 We then traveled to the world famous Cayman Turtle Farm at Boatswain Beach, where we enjoyed some tasty rum cake. 


It was then back to Georgetown to wonder around town for some shopping….Jewelry store, jewelry store, jewelry store!! 
We stopped to Jimmy Buffet’s for some cool refreshment.

Then back to the ship to really cool off.
