everybody it's Bruce here with travelling with Bruce welcome to my
channel today I want to talk to you about the Cayman Islands if you're gonna
go on a cruise you might end up in the Western Caribbean and you're gonna head
for the Cayman Islands located just south of Cuba and a bit west of Jamaica
right in the middle of the Caribbean Sea beautiful area beautiful islands
themselves and you're gonna end up on Grand Cayman Island the island hosts
about 35,000 people full-time most of which are expatriates folks who will
work on work contracts and come in there for a year or two or three at a time and
then move on what you can see here as the map zooms in here is Grand Cayman
the island looks like a letter L with a Serpent's head on the top there that's
West Bay Georgetown is in the bottom left-hand corner that's where cruise
ships park and then from here you can decide what to do and if you're part of
a cruise ship tour you might go up Seven Mile Beach up to West Bay see the turtle
farm you might go for a tour of the island on a bus but I say you know what
island like this it's this beautiful you get off the cruise ships here you tender
on to the dock that's on the bottom right in the corner of that picture and
you look back and you're gonna take a look at see well this this is the view
you have when you're on shore you're gonna start taking photos of the ship
you were just on whether it's a carnival ship like this one or whether you're
gonna be a landing on say all in America like this one and you're gonna see folks
with Paris sails and water jet skis and having a great old time what I love
about the Cayman Islands is just how easy it is to get around if I were
visiting the Cayman Islands I by the ways to live there so I know it very
well the last time I was there I read in a car and get here's a couple shots of
some ships and the land in the background I rented a car because I
wanted to drive to a place like this right here I want to see Seven Mile
Beach I want to see different venues on the island I didn't want to be cooped up
in a bus with a whole bunch of other tourists screaming kids who want to just
you know get a chocolate bar I really want to hang out at the pool
and not hang out with mom and dad and all these strangers so I love grabbing a
car because here is what we're talking about with Cayman Islands there's a ship
there there's a ship there there's a ship there there's another ship there
there's at least four of them there and the lineups galore look behind you hear
all these folks that are you're getting on or getting off the tenders and a lot
of these folks are heading here to Stingray City on a boat cruise ship boat
tour to Stingray City hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people coming
and going every 30 minutes I just can't handle it it's just too much for me
I need the tranquility and peace and quiet and I want to go here I'm gonna go
to Rum Point I'm gonna rent a car and drive the circumference of the island
and end up here at rum Point I'll have past the blowholes just
outside of baden town which i left to check to I whenever I had relatives
coming visit me I drove them here and we would wait for the blowholes to pop pop
with a big explosion it was fun to stand beside them and get a photo and you're
driving through a place like this baden town where you're passing the lighthouse
this is a lighthouse restaurant it's a passing through here and I love doing
this this was this is a great drive you could stop at a couple of cafes along
the roadway see the beach behind you here's the quaint tranquility of baden
town itself really nice another idea go to Foster's Food Fair on the north end
of the island pop in there get to the salad bar grab some grub take it with
you and head to the public beach right here at Seven Mile Beach and they've got
picnic tables and cabanas free to use parking lot available and bring your
bathing suit bring your towels bring some refreshments from Foster's Food
Fair and hang out here for a good part of the day and just relax and avoid the
mayhem at stingray city and at the turtle farm and everywhere else that
these bus tours take people to here's a great shot looking north from Seven Mile
Beach you can walk the beach all you want it's public property no one blocks
off the beach seven mile beach not even in front of
the governor's mansion you can walk the beach all you want you take the car just
outside of downtown just a little south part of the downtown Georgetown you come
here to Smith's Cove beautiful area a lot of romantic photos have been taken
here of weddings over the years it's a beautiful place you can swim here too
they have a bathroom facility and you can enjoy that area but driving back to
your ship you're gonna see these images again of these ships waiting for you and
you know one of them is waiting for you and eventually you'll be on a tender and
here we go on the tender heading back there's one right there there's the
second ship already leaving them over there there's the third ship there's the
fourth ship and behind it is the fifth ship fifteen to seventeen thousand of
you guys are going to be on the tenders heading back to your ships once you're
on board you got the spa got the buffet you got the restaurants you got the room
service they take care of all the bedding for you you don't have to make
you bed every day it's wonderful but you've had a great day on the island
rent a car go see it for yourself joy avoid the crowds only tolerate the
crowds when you're going back to your ship you'll be great
