Day 4 The Cayman Islands

Here we are at day 4 halfway through our long awaited trip. We are stopping in The Cayman Islands today. As soon as we looked out our balcony we could see how beautiful it was. The water was just a perfect shade of blue. We grabbed a quick breakfast and took the tender to shore. The first thing we decided to try was right near the docks and it was snorkeling over a shipwreck. It cost $15 per person to have the snorkel, mask and flippers all day the only thing was we couldn't take it from that location. You climb down this ladder which is hard in flippers just saying to get into the water. As soon as you start swimming there is really cool fish to look at. If you swim a little bit further you start to see the remains of a ship. If you are into that stuff I am sure it could be really cool. It kind of freaked me out and I would rather look at fish anyway so I swam around and looked at all the different types of sea life I could find in that area. We did the snorkeling for about an hour and a half and it was well worth the money. After that we took the bus $2.50 a person to a public beach. I have been to many beaches and this was one of the nicest I have ever seen. There were chairs to rent for $5 if you wanted and a place to buy souvenirs  The ice cream trucks are near by if you get to hot but no one hounds you to purchase anything. The sand on the beach was a beautiful light colored and it was super soft. The water was a nice temperature and it was just a beautiful place to be. We laid on the beach for awhile and took the bus back into the dock area. There were some nice shops to look in an once again no one was pushy for you to buy anything. The line to take the tender back to the ship was very short and we were back on the boat. We got ready and enjoyed a nice dinner. The show tonight is a show of fellow cruisers. They had people sign up to do a talent which on our ship was all singing but it could have been anything. There was about 8 people who sang and one lady got up to read a poem she had written to thank her son for taking her on this cruise as it was a present for her for making it through a rough year health wise. I really enjoyed the show and most of the people could sing really good. The other people got cheers for trying. After the show we went outside and enjoyed the late night movie played on the big screen out on the lido deck. Probably one of my favorite days.
