加纳比海Caribbean: 5 Cayman Island

2009-08-30 16:08

Grand Cayman Island是一个岛国。是我们2006年坐Carnival Conquest游轮去加纳比海玩时停靠的一站。这里曾是英国属地，当地货币上还有英国女王头像。官方语言是英文。对我们这些美国游客来说，语言上很方便。这里最出名的是“Tax Heaven。”很多公司都来这注册，可以省很多税。但听说最近几年美国税务局抓得严，可能没有以前那么好生意了。

(1) Getting off our big boat...

(2) into a small boat to get on shore because the island does not have deep or big enough port to dock the big cruises.

(3) A glance at our big boat from our ferry

(4) Our cruise boat and another one from some distance.

(5) The island is really flat and has no elevation at all.

(6) The port and the ferry

(7) A colorful restaurant near the port called "Margaritaville."

(8) Another restaurant called "Landmark"

(9) Shopping area near the port.

(10) After half an hour of bus ride, we arrived at "Stingray City" and got onto a boat just like this one for our "stingray tour" excursion.

(11) The small boat took us to an area where we can get off the boat and into the water.

(12) The island from some distance looks like a thin line.

(13) This was our destination - see, catch, play with, and feel the sting rays. With someone's help the sting rays can massage our back. This is one of the most exciting and memerable experience in all of our excursions we ever did at Caribbeans. I highly recommend it.
