We stayed at the Morritt's Tortuga Club on the East End
Grand Cayman Vacation, Dec 1-8, 2001
Charlie and I took a timeshare swap to Grand Cayman. We managed four scuba dives, some snorkeling, and one exceptional hike through one of the last tracts of primary evergreen woodland left on the island. Other than that, there was nothing to do there.

I left my camera in the car at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, but retraced my steps as far as these iguanas to snap these photos. These two iguanas are in captivity, but there were others free ranging along our walk. |

We visited the Pedro St. James Castle where we got a good presentation of the island's history |

A short visit to Georgetown (where the cruise ships stop) convinced us to heed everyone's advice and spend the rest of our time on the quieter East End. But we did enjoy drinks and the sunset in Georgetown.

Back at our resort there was an evening fire and limbo performer on the back deck. The wind gave him trouble but he managed to give an impressive show nevertheless. |
