We checked with the hotel staffabout places to go for the afternoon
and they sent us to Georgetown
for a quiet afternoon of discovery.
We caught a bus which was
an adventure in itself.
Busses will pick you up ANYWHERE on the street.
You just stand their, they see you,
they honk twice, you wave,
they pick you up.
$2.50 US dollar.
The busses are actually vans,
all conditions!
Pile in....
They drive so different than us.
Really conscientious to other drivers,
and pedestrians,
honking at everyone they pass,
want a ride.
They will even go off the bus route,
just to drop you off at home,
or whereever...
you just go along with them.
Nothing is a problem in Cayman,
It is just, "no problem".
People don't take tips,
They just say, "no, no problem, for you"
No one is in a hurry.
One thing we learned is that
they close up shop at 5 pm.
People who drive the "busses"
only drive until they need to go home to family,
there is no bus schedule,
and everything closes down at 5:00pm,
other than restaurants, and night life...
which is all laid back.
Entire towns close up shop...
even the airport is closed up by 6:00...
we learned by being stranded an extra day....
[the airport is no bigger than a church gym,
they only sell alcohol and rum cakes, a few trinkets,
a couple of vending machines,
no TV's, or electronic telling you about flights
and NO COMPUTER terminals, and only one spot
in the airport can you find service for satellite internet service...
a small corner..I will blog later about our 12 hours
at the airport....pictures included]
Great Island!
Pirate Ship

Cruise Ship
A trip to Georgetown was a lot of fun.
It was on the day that the cruise ships were at bay.
We got there about the time that
everyone was lined up to get back on the ship.
Didn't look fun to be standing in
LONG lines
waiting for the boats to shuffle you back to the ships.
Georgetown was like a ghost town when they left.
We had a lot of fun shopping, but mostly just
soaking it all up!

I so need to live there!
Sounds like heaven to me!
Loks like heaven, what will we do for work, when we all move. I suppose we would have to work. :O{
Rather not work, just play!
I don't think I would mind working for a living there...everything closes up at 5:00....it's true, it's 5 o'clock somewhere....always 5 o'clock in the Cayman.
I just realized that I have not fussed over your new hair!!! Please forgive me, all the times we've talked and not a single [honorable] mention of it. I feel so bad, just awful because it is so darling! I came back to take a mini vaca looking at all the beautiful photos, and to my dismay, it hit me like a ton of bricks, that I never told you that I LOVE IT!!!
