Another busy week of eating out and entertaining. We decided on Thursday to get some dinner in George Town, so the 5 of us piled into the jeep and went in search of some food. Everywhere was pretty quiet so we settled on Harveys Grill. Nice food but way overpriced with portions too small. Lesson learned, so we bailed on to Coconut Joes (tackier tourist spot, but cool enough) where we found the island's nicest mudslides. So we sampled, and we sampled some more, and let Rob drive us home. Late night for a school night!
Friday night was a mad rush down to GT for 5:15 to board the Jolly Roger, an "authentic pirate ship that brings you across the bay and back", or in other words a booze cruise! 28 quid for all you can eat and drink for three hours. Great craic!
Afterwards we all went back to Reef Grill where we met up with the gang, and then on to the Ritz for champagne and cocktails. Needless to say we were all well on by then. Brian became "tired", Charlotte had the urge to dance, a lot ,and Jill jawed the ear off everyone she could find (or so she claims). I, of course, was no doubt very civil and polite and well behaved!
Back home at around 1:30 where the lads all decided to go swimming in the pool. Pool and drink= bad idea!
Yesterday we were all wrecked, so the most we got up to was some snorkelling, but we drove over to the other side of the island last night to meet up with a group of friends to go for a night kayak across the bay near Rum Point.
Apparently the bay here is one of only a handful of bays in the world that has natural all year round luminescence. Basically, everything glows in the dark! The fish, your oar, your hand in the water. Its pretty damn cool. Being able to see fish dart under the water, glowing bright yellow and green, is something to see. It was a 4 and half mile round trip in twin kayaks with 18 of us under the stars in thirty degree heat, with a comfortable breeze. A cool way to spend an alcohol free Saturday night. (www.caymankayaks.com). I only wish I knew about it when Graham and Ais were here. Hubb and Louise be prepared for some rowing!
We had a couple of drinks and some food out in Cayman Kai, where the kayaks leave from, and were home by 11:30, wrecked tired!
Anyway, off now to the beach to get some Waverunners and mess about. Planning a roast dinner tonight and will take it easy with a video.
All going to plan, we'll head for dinner tomorrow night in the Ritz, followed by a movie on the giant outdoor screen.
Is life good? Its not bad....
BTW, working on a deal in work that could possibly see me back in Ireland for a week or two. I'll say nothing til I know more!
For the rest of you who are still unsure about coming over, BA are having a flight sale if you travel before the end of March, two people can book for Cayman for between 1200 and 1300 euros (I assume Christmas is excluded). Orlando Bloom's new film is premiering here next Saturday night, which he filmed on the island last year. Check out the trailer for a taste of what Grand Cayman really looks like: www.apple.com/trailers/independent/haven/
If that doesnt persuade you to book a flight, you'll never come!
See you in Cayman soon..
