Swimming with the Sting-Rays (Tuesday 2nd April)

We woke up very early before 8:30 because we were going to go swimming with the Sting Rays or snorkelling in my case. We got dressed and eat Cheerios for breakfast (yum). Then we got into the taxi and set off for the marina.

We climbed on the boat and the lady gave us a quick briefing where everything was. Then we set out to get to Sting Ray City. When we arrived there, we anchored and she gave the divers a short briefing of what they would be doing. Which was playing with the Sting Rays and feeding them.



Once the divers had got suited up and had jumped off and gone down, me and Mum got our snorkels and flippers on. Then we climbed off the boat and into the water. It was very cold at first. We had a line that we could hold on to the end and we could just float out to above the divers.



We watched the divers swim away and so we asked the lady if we could let go of the line. The lady pointed out a turtle and we followed it. We pointed it out to the divers but noone noticed us. We watched the divers play with the sting rays and feed them.

Then we swam back to the boat and shortly after the divers came up and the boat drove back to the marina.

We went out to dinner at Grand Old House which had an interesting history. I enjoyed my experience at Sting Ray City.

Windy & cloudy day to start (Wednesday 27th March)

I opened my eye's taking in my surroundings and peering round the room. I got up and suddenly got that bouncy feeling where you feel like your heads going to explode with all the excitement.

Mum, Dad and Megan went shopping for some food which took about 2 hours then we had lunch at Subway.

After that we went to the beach. I had a little swim with Megan and just as we were going in Dad came out to tell us it was getting too choppy, but I got run over by a wave anyway :)




In the evening we went to a restaurant called Royal Palms and exhausted from my long day I fell asleep in my chair

All I remember was being woken up and walked back to the apartment

An early start (Tuesday 26th March)

I rubbed my eyes excitedly. "Today is the day" I thought. Holiday. Finally. I stretched and got out of bed.

When I saw it was 6:00 I stood up and walked over to my chair. I got dressed hastily. Soon it was time to climb tiredly into the taxi.





When we got there we had to go though the bag drop and the security check then we did some shopping for some books, some sun glasses and of course some sweets(yum)


I climb slowly on to British Airways and sat though a 11 hour flight before touch down at some place in America and then a one hour flight to Grand Cayman


We dumped our bags and went to look at the sea before going to Coconut Joes



I felt stuffed by the time I left

I flopped down on to my bed and slept, only waking up a few times.
