Wednesday - Grand Caymen

Wednesday was spent in Grand Cayman. We got off the boat first thing in the morning and got on the first Sting Ray tour with Captain Marvin. Captain Marvin's Water Sports were great tour guides and i would definitely recommend them. We got on their 8:30am tour. The first took us to Coral Gardens were we spent a half an hour snorkeling. Then they took us to the sting ray sand bar. Let me just say, that was amazing. I did it about 12 years ago but I didn't remember much. You get in the waist deep water and at least 10-15 sting rays swim over and rub up against your belly and legs. It is the creepiest and coolest thing ever. Their wings are so thick and smooth. It is crazy. Then everyone gets a chance to hold one and kiss it. You can even turn around and the guide has it give you a massage, where he rubs the wing up on your shoulders. It was awesome.





After the sandbar they take you back to shore. The driver dropped us off at 7 mile beach. We LOVE 7 mile beach! We were planning on walked back as part of our exercise for the day. It turns out he dropped us off at the far end of the beach and we ended up walking for an hour and a half. It was nice though because it was kind of cloudy and we walked along the beach for a lot of it.

We got back on the boat and... you guessed it... took naps and sat in the hot tub. After eating lunch of course.

Tonight there was a newly wed game show before dinner. Those are always fun. Here is a picture of the stage. It was really cool:


Dinner was great tonight too. Love our waiter, Robert. We talked with him (ok, I talked to him) for a while tonight about his home and his family and stuff. He is very sweet. He is from Jamaica and gets to have lunch with his wife tomorrow. Cute.

Tonight we just went to bed early. We're not big party animals. But that's our idea of a vacation, reading, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, relaxing, etc.
