A Day in Grand Cayman

Having been completely put off by the Almost Free experience in Mexico and being totally committed to climbing Dunns River Falls in Jamaica, we decided not to get involved in any shore excursions in Grand Cayman. We waited until the rush was over and got off the boat. The boat was tendered rather than docked so it was just a short ride to the pier. We had a leisurely stroll into town. We were given all sorts of coupons for free charms and free necklaces but we didn't go collect any of them. (Most of them aren't worth the effort unless you were already planning to visit the store anyway.)

We did plan to do some shopping because I wanted a shorter beach cover-up for climbing the falls the next day. I also needed some water shoes to avoid ruining my walking shoes. We found those items (and more) fairly quickly and made our way to a restaurant that overlooked the water. We had a leisurely lunch and then made our way back to the pier.

The day was a bit overcast, but it was still a beautiful place to be.
