Grand Cayman

The second shore excursion on the cruise was on the island of Grand Cayman. The two people who had been on the cruise before arranged for an independent tour of part of the island, the Turtle Farm, and swimming with stingrays on a sandbar offshore known as Stingray City.

We sat around for an hour, because we arrived on shore an hour early for our tour, then found out the tour was delayed an hour, so we split up and poked about the town until time for the tour. As usual, I contracted a very very bad headache - I got one every day I went on shore - but once I got into the water it went away, so I'm assuming a good deal of it was due to overheating.

The full photoset is posted here, but here's a few of the best pics.

Cruise - Tulum

And now the final group of shots from the cruise. The ship docked at Cozumel, and some of us went on the excursion to Tulum, some small Mayan ruins along the coastline about an hour or so away. It was a rainy day, but the storm held off for most of the time.

Naturally...

...since I have a freezer and a fridge full of all sorts of good food, what I am really craving is a turkey sandwich with lots of mayonnaise. (I'm reheating leftover pizza instead. It won't be a good substitute, but if I get the pizza box out of the fridge, I'll have more room.)
