Today we docked at Georgetown in the Cayman Islands, one says docked but we actually tendered out at sea and then boarded tender boats to travel to the the main land. One thought it would be best to take the manual wheelchair just to be on the safe side. It was a good job that we did as there would be no way that Superbunny would be able to get on the tender boats! It took 3 strong men to lift oneself and the chair onto the tender boat…
The cruise terminal is located in the heart of George Town making it easy if one wishes to do a spot of shopping. In terms of access, it is worth noting that the pavements, especially outside the centre are not the best for wheelchairs. However, a large proportion of shops in the centre of George Town are wheelchair accessible albeit with temporary ramps…
One of the main draws of the Cayman Islands is its beaches containing crystal blue waters. As one wished to find a quiet spot, we headed out of the centre for around 30 minutes and stumbled across a quaint little beach full of palm trees. This provided the perfect stop to go for a swim in the Caribbean Sea with ones rapid deployment inflatable system! Immersed in clear blue water, one was able to spot an array of marine life whilst bobbing around…
Returning to the cruise terminal, one stopped off at a beach side Caribbean restaurant spotting a few iguanas as we eat!
Tomorrow we head to Cozumel which is located just off the coast of Mexico.
