Our next port of call was Grand Cayman Island. We were disembarked by ferry to the island and waited in the main shopping area for our next excursion to depart. There is a fantastic candy store there filled with the largest pieces of candy we have ever seen.
We boarded another boat with about 30 people and were taken to Stingray City, a large sandbar in the North sound of the island. The stingrays attraction to the sandbar is speculated to have started decades ago with the fisherman who would clean their fish at the sandbar before making port. The stingrays now associate the sound of the boats to food and freely swim around the boats and tourists.
After swimming with the stingrays, we were taken a short distance to Coral Garden for snorkeling. The guide was apologetic about the clarity of the water. Some weather had gone through that had churned things up a bit. We still saw lots of fish and coral. It was a relaxing hour bobbing around with the tide.
We were catching the end of iguana mating season and we spotted this handsome dude decked out in orange for the occasion.
All the sun and the sea left us pretty tuckered out. The O's and the L's did a little shopping before heading back to the ship while the T's went down the road to explore a ship wreck.
