Georgetown, Cayman Islands

January 7. 2025

This morning we arrived at Georgetown, the Capital of the Cayman islands. After getting tendered from the ship to the shore we were deciding where to go. The waterfront streets are lined with multiple souvenir and T-shirts shops. Georgetown is littered with banks including our Canadian big banks.

We flagged down a taxi off the sidewalk, he offered to show us around the Island for $25 ea. After we paid him, he said to meet him in 45 min. We figured this might have been the last time we saw him. We showed up at the agreed time and behold he was waiting for us.

After we boarded his van, we drove down the seven Mile Beach road which is lined with large resort hotels and condo buildings. It’s to the point that the beach and ocean are barely visible from the road. After driving for half an hour we ended up in hell. Hell is a large formation of volcanic rock and a souvenir shop. Our next stop was at the well-known Seven Mile Beach. Truly a beautiful public beach with nice white sand. On the way back the driver pointed out other buildings of importance including the governor’s residence. 

We were dropped off at the harbour, we had literally been to Hell and back.

After getting back on the boat we joined the sail away celebration with a glass of Cayman Rum Punch and watched the sun go down as we departed for our next stop.

Cheers
