The wonderful thing about Grand Cayman is that<br />
there is a lot more to it than the numerous high-rise<br />
financial institutions, condos, hotels and high-end<br />
stores are outstanding and carry everything under the<br />
sun to provision your boat to the gills in true gourmet<br />
style! Grand Cayman is also the home of the famed<br />
Tortuga Rum Company. We made it part of our routine,<br />
When we were not diving, we were riding our bikes all<br />
over the place. We have carried bikes aboard Ultra for<br />
many years, since they are a great way to explore the<br />
islands we visit. Here, we loaded them up in the dink<br />
The landscape at Hell really is infernal!<br />

Up, up and away! To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we organized a jet pack adventure<br />
shops and restaurants. There are also charming settlements<br />
with very friendly residents and pristine<br />
beaches dotting the island, places to be explored that<br />
are more for smaller budgets.<br />
There are several hardware and housewares stores,<br />
countless duty-free shops, and all kinds of places to<br />
purchase items for your boat or yourself. The grocery<br />
while on our bike rides of the island, to stop here and<br />
purchase a tasty Jamaican patty and a coconut water.<br />
There is also a great local bus transportation system<br />
available for getting around with heavier items in tow.<br />
The average bus fare we paid at the time was between<br />
CI$2 and CI$4, depending on our destination. Taxis<br />
and car rentals are other options available.<br />
and headed to shore to explore. Our first bike ride<br />
adventure was our ride to Hell. Yes, we said Hell. The<br />
area we are speaking of is located in the northwest of<br />
Grand Cayman at West Bay. It consists of a footballfield<br />
sized area full of limestone spires that rise up from<br />
the earth, which some say must resemble Hell. Here,<br />
you can even send a postcard from the Hell post office,<br />
and pose for a photo as either an angel or a devil.<br />
During our stay, we continued exploring more of this<br />
amazing island.<br />
