Grand Cayman - Good Friday


Day two of our little get-away, Friday, April 10, also known as Good Friday. First breakfast in the turtle lagoon in the hotel. Then we took a taxi to the turtle farm, but being Good Friday, it was closed. So came back and went to the beach.

Turtle lagoon in the hotel.

Bob watched the kids while I went running. I ran to this purple hotel/condo called The Avalon about 2 miles away. Nature called and I spent 20 minutes trying to find a bathroom. Eventually found a very yucky porta-potty, uggghh! And ran back.


Before lunch, Nathan had the worst meltdown -- note to self, don't miss snacks! We went to a little place across the road for lunch that someone recommended, then we went to a butterfly farm which was surprisingly open (being Good Friday, everything else was closed). Cool guided tour where our guide described the life cycle of a butterfly. It was pretty interesting. The females are bigger and stronger and the males are used for sex, get kick out and spend the rest of their short life getting drunk!


After the butterflies, we went back to the hotel room for kids shows while Bob went running. Oh yeah, on my run, I saw a bright green lizard, a whole field of big iguanas, and a snake. Bob said the snake was dead because he saw it twice, in the same position. Dinner was at Pizza Hut. With two kids, sometimes it's easier to stick to the basics.
