The weather was fantastic with no sargassum to report on 7mb.

Camana Bay restos were unusually quiet due to the holidays, per staff. This area is lovely for exclusive shopping and dining on the water.

The camana bay mexican resto was mid...nothing spectacular. You order by the unit so prices are deceiving.. ie 1 taco is 10?kyd, or so.

Spanglish in 7mb plaza was tops....a must try is mango marguerita. I really enjoyed my large quesadilla tho the lobster was salty.

Grand Cayman Burgers were good. Located in a plaza in 7mb.

Tillies resto on 7mb was ok. I was neither impressed by food or drinks. Service was ok with a large service staff. Atmosphere was nice. Both visits were underwhelming.

7mb during Easter weekend was fun. Lots of locals tenting in a very organized manner. Loud music is banned on the beach, btw. There was lots of sand to spread out. The water was calm and crystal clear. I saw one fish. As the beach is very wide, there is little shade. The entrance to the water had an 8in? corally drop. The rest is magical.

On 7mb you can rent jet skis shaped as sports cars. Looks fun when you see sports cars jetting on the horizon. Parasailing is also an option.

I suggest the Red Sail evening ferry to Rum Point from Red Sail dock (not usual dock). Its 25usd return. I think the stay in rum point was 2.5 hrs. They rsvp at the excellent resto with perfected service. Our Argentinian waiter was the most attentive. We returned to dock app 930pm.

Fosters grocery store in West Bay is very well stocked. They also have a small bulk items section (case lots). Theres a smaller McDuff groceries nearby. It says they are open 24hrs...take your chances as I never stepped foot in the store.

The busses are reliable and 2kyd for most legs. In West Bay there are many lines (busses are identified by colour) and since im staying near perimter road, my bus wait was always short. For a few more kyd ask the bus driver to drop you off closer to home on hopping in. Sometimes they will. Or hitch hike. Rides are easy to come by.

To go further afield, theres an agent in the Georgetown bus depot kiosk for info.

In Georgetown, theres a lovely handmade shop. She has lovely items worth a visit. I cant recall the shop's name, but its on a side street, one block from the water (near kfc???).

And for my Canadian friends, Im told this Timmies is one of the good ones. Even the doughnuts taste better here. Thoughts?

A visit to a distillery is fun on a rainy day. I think it was 20kyd for a tasting and (opens door and points) tour. (St Lucia has the rum tasting self pour top award).

My thoughts are scrambled, as was this trip. I highly recommend Cayman Islands.

Enjoy your stay,
