Grand Cayman - Pirate Cave


Today we had breakfast in the turtle lagoon again. The kids love the turtle lagoon. There are paths all around the turtles in the pond. I think it's a great place too.

Then the hotel put on an Easter egg hunt on the beach where the kids could take two plastic eggs and all the candy that they wanted. It was pretty cool.




After the Easter egg hunt we rented a Jeep Wrangler to explore the island a little. Our main destination was the Pirate Caves that we were talking to Colin about. At first he was very excited about it, then out of no where Colin changed his mind and didn't want to go. Turns out that he was afraid of the caves, but I talked him into it and told him that it wasn't going to be scary.


Six year old, David gave us a tour of the caves and took Colin into a little passageway. Nathan wanted to go so I climbed in the passageway and went with Nathan. There was a mini-zoo at the Cave too, that we checked out.



Afterward we drove to the North side of the island, saw a fire and ate lunch at On the Edge, a restaurant on the water. We took the long way back around the eastern edge of the island. Nathan fell asleep just before we got back to the hotel. He would've slept more but Jeeps are just too windy and booster seats aren't good for taking naps.

Then the kids watched a little bit of kid's show. This was something that we did everyday, the kids liked the break and we got a little nap.

Time to hit the beach where Bob and I took turns going snorkeling with a face mask and no snorkel. I saw so many kinds of fish in the man-made pods that provided shelter for the fish. I think I even saw a small shark lurking in the middle of the pods, but probably not. I saw a blow fish and a little orange and purple fish that I remembered from Hanama Bay in Hawaii.

Dinner was at Yoshi Sushi and dessert at Hammerhead a brew pub that didn't have very much of their own beer. Sushi was an excellent choice, we really need to take the kids to more sushi places.
