Water, water everywhere, and its beauty to behold.
An early morning, today. We met our tour group at 7:50 a.m. to tender to the dock to get on our tour bus.
However, while getting ready, I heard an unmistakable sound. The found of a 5 ton anchor chinking out of its eye, splashing through the water's suffice, and fixing us solidly in place. We did not know the sound was coming, but we didn't need anyone to tell us what it was when it happened.
From the time the sun rose, lighting up the morning and the water, it became apparent that the water off these shores is like the water no where else in the world. I can not describe what it looks like, but I will say, that I've spend a lot of time just looking at the water and its magical colors.
As we departed in the small bus, our driver/tour guide pointed out every spot along our route, not even leaving out "B King," what he called Burger King. He was also quick to point out any recent changes, such as: "On your right, you will see 'The Avalone', that used to be the Holiday Inn, but no more, it is now the Avalone."
Along the way we got our Rumcakes (oh, those are good), got our pictures in Hell (actual city on Grand Cayman), and had a chance to walk along '7 mile beach' (which is really a bit over 14 miles long).
After the morning tour, we started the 'on your own' sightseeing and shopping in the main tourist sections. I'm looking forward to showing off my newest cufflinks--Black Coral.
We chanced a small, local resturant for lunch, and had no regrets. Angela said: "I feel so 'Rachel Ray'." One interesting part is that the menu prices were in CI dollars.
It's still mid-day, so there is still much to do today, so if you are reading this, come back later I will update again late tonight, or tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, that is our long day in Cozumel, Mexico.
