We spent a warm day at sea, with the winds behind us. The ocean was very blue. We saw lots of flying fish and a large school of dolphins.
We arrived at Grand Cayman the next morning at 7:00. There were already two cruise ships in port.
Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman Islands, is just 22 miles long and 8 miles wide. The highest point on the island is just 60 feet, which as near as we could tell is the garbage dump, seen here just right of center.
The big attraction in Grand Cayman is shopping. It's also known for all it's financial institutions where people like Mitt Romney can shelter their money.
The island is mostly made of coral, which was evident along the beach.
We headed out of the shopping area to see the neighborhood. We found a few interesting birds and some equally interesting plants.
There were lots of free range chickens.
As we were walking back to the ship along a road we unknowingly walked right past this huge iguana.
After walking about 3 miles we returned to the ship for lunch. We sailed at 4:30 bound for Ft. Lauderdale.
