Grand Cayman

Our third stop was Grand Cayman Island, or as our tour guide called it....Paradise. We would have to say that Grand Cayman Island was the most beautiful island of all the ones that we went to on the cruise. It had the clearest water and the best beaches. We booked a snorkeling and stingray city excursion. We took a boat out into the beautiful ocean and made our first stop to snorkel around coral reef. There was some pretty purple coral reef but other than that it was not that impressive. We got back in the boat to make the next stop to snorkel some more. At this point the water was very choppy and I was starting to get sea sick. I told Nestor that he should go snorkel and tell me if I am missing anything. He went out but said that there was not that much to see. We then headed to Stingray City. I thought Stingray City was going to be right next to the beach but it was actually right in the middle of the ocean. It was crazy to think that the water was only about 4 feet deep in the middle of the ocean. The water was perfectly clean and you could see all the stingray swimming around. They were huge. We got out and walked around. They swam next to you and would rub up against you. I would scream when I didn't see them coming and they rubbed up against me. I held Nestor's hand the whole entire time. We both held a stingray and Nestor even gave one a kiss. He is suppose to get 7 years of good luck. We will see. I would recommend only going to Stingray City and skip the snorkeling. It was a fun but scary experience.
