Our Cruise - Winter Break 2011 (Part 5)

Our first port of call was the Grand Cayman Islands.  Tommy and I had been to Grand Caymans on our first cruise about 16 years ago, so it was really neat to go back with Chase and show her the beautiful blue water and to watch her swim at 7 mile beach!

Here we are on the Tenders taking us to shore...windy day!

We didn't do any paid shore excurisions...we stayed within our budget and just checked out the island ourselves, we didn't have alot of time in Grand Caymans, so we basically went to the beach, took some pictures, Chase swam for a little while in the beautiful waters, while Tommy and I stayed on the beautiful sand beaches watching her!




 He appears to be bored, but he had fun!

 The wind was crazy that day, and it was making my hair crazy!!


Here are a couple of random shots Chase took of a boat; and a guy at the beach! :)
I just love that beautiful blue water!

Chase would probably tell you her biggest memory of the Grand Caymans was our crazy taxi driver; she did drive pretty crazy...and she did not want to leave until she had more people...she kept yelling out the window, even after she was driving. "7-mile beach...I take you to 7-mile beach!" It was definitely an interesting ride!! :)

When we went on our cruise we road a taxi in the Bahamas and it was C.R.A.Z.Y!!! #1 they drove on the opposite side of the road and of the car
#2 They packed about 18 people into a 15 passenger van
#3 Our driver drove soo fast!

Funny how in two different places our cruises have been very similar!
