Stingray City

In Grand Cayman I had the fantastic opportunity to go snorkeling at a coral reef and then swim with Stingrays at Stingray City. The coral reef was so fun. There were so many cute fishes with so many colors. I would just float around mesmerized by all the colors of fish. I also loved the Sea Fans they were so amazing in color and grace. These purples and blues I couldn’t believe. In all Crayola would be hard pressed to find the method to making any one of these colors. I would just take picture after picture and I just loved it.

Then we went to this place called stingray city. It was just off the coral reef area known for being a great natural area for these gorgeous creatures. There were about six stingrays around us of all different sizes. It was such an amazing and different experience for me. They are so gentle and graceful and watching them transports you to simpler place. The guide actually caught one to show us up close and point out where the stinger was. Then they gave us some squid so we could feed the stingrays. They are wild and everything so it was just a very different and interesting experience. While in the water the stingrays would see you and swim towards you it was so awesome. Feeding them was awesome they would take the squid right out of your hands and move on. They are so curious too. I wouldn’t have any squid but they would swim up to me to just check me out. I began to try chase them to pet them more. I couldn’t help it, I just wanted to touch them.

Then we went to this 5.5 mile strip of beach called 7 mile beach… At the beach we received a rum punch, lunch, and lounge chair on the beach. Not sure what was in the rum punch, but it was good. It was nice to sit on the beach and just relax. Just as the tour was ended the clouds rolled in and the rain began. So I went back to the ship and just relaxed. It was another good day in the sun.
