Sting Rays

We had a fabulous day today. We had a port at the Cayman Island at George Town. We had to tender in to the island and when I went up to the top deck this morning, I counted 5 cruise ships!! What a cool site! We went to the island and the minute we walked through the gates, we were accosted by people trying to sell tour packages. We went on a Stingray tour which was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my whole life! What a cool site. When we returned to the boat, we went swimming and then for supper, it was our night for our dinner at the Palo which is the adult only dining room. Jake and I had a wonderful formal dinner (we had to get dressed all fancy again!) and then went and got the kids from their clubs. To top off a great day, I got to see my absolute favourite Disney character tonight too! Donald Duck was in the lobby tonight and I got a kiss from him! One of the greatest days for sure!

WOW! We got off the ship and were approached by a local lady selling a stingray tours, we said why not lets go. The girls were a little scared. Natasha did come in and touch one but Julie didn’t. I was amazed, at first looking around wasn’t that exciting, you could see some dark things in the water moving around and rubbing against my legs but when I put the snorkel on and looked under water it was and excitingly different world. It was brighter, more colourful, and completely amazing. I could see stingrays everywhere. I shot an entire roll of film with an underwater camera, Thanks Doug. We stopped at a different spot and when Natasha put her face in the water with the snorkel she saw thousands of fish of all kinds’ right under her.

I made a friend today and she is pretty nice. I went swimming lots and bought some cool sunglasses. Got my hair beaded today too but after a bit it started to hurt me, and I had mommy take the braids out, but we have pictures. I got to go in the ocean and touch a stingray, it felt very smooth and very warm. I was scared at first. The ocean was very salty; I DID NOT LIKE THE TASTE OF THE OCEAN.Auntie Carmen, I was sleeping on the deck because I was not feeling well, but I did like being there in the shade.

When we were at Cayman Island, we went on a Stingray tour and we got to see lots of stingrays. I met a friend in the pools her name is Madison. Her cabin is very close to ours. We saw lots and lots of Iguanas. The ocean is so blue it is very easy to see to the bottom. When we were going to the land we went past an old pirate ship.Auntie Carmen, it took 1/2 an hour to have my hair done. Natasha did get hers done too but she took them out because they were hurting a bit.
