I had never been to Grand Cayman. We needed to get to the island via tender boats as the cruise ships are unable to dock at this island. It is a very flat island, no mountains. They have many fast food chains here, such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King, no McDonald's that I noticed. There are a lot of major Canadian banks here such as the Royal Bank and the Bank of Nova Scotia.
My sister has a friend who lives on the island so she arranged for the bunch of us to be driven around in a minivan. We went on a quick driving tour of the whole island. It included a stop at another friend's house to eat fresh picked coconuts. The guy just picked them off a tree on the property and opened them up for us!

Excellent photos of Grand Cayman. Interesting trip so far.

Hi Christine wow this sounds like a fun place and great that your sister had arranged things along the way,hope you have a lovely day my friend xx
Beautiful.
A thought just popped in my head. My mother and father went to Grand Cayman. The architecture firm Dad worked for won the bid to install the hardware in a new bank there. I'm thinking 90s, or 80s?!
