Grand Cayman Port of Call

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!

We visited an area of black limestone formations known as 'Hell'.

My sister arranged for the bunch of us to eat at this Jamaican style restaurant in Grand Cayman.


We ate this delicious escoveitched fish, it has pickled onions and carrots.
