Thanks Joh, which formal night ? The purple one on week 1 was from Karen Millen and the maxi dress from week 2 was a bargain at less than £15 from New Look

They were both lovely but I loved the second one more - what a bargain!

LOL, not too sure what else was in the Rum Runners, mostly different kinds of rum and a splash of juice

The Diaper Dash was really funny, there was lots of little events going on in the Atrium in the day, apart from the usual character greetings there was a little disco and we would pop along and watch

Monday 29th April

Once again it was a beautiful morning. We got up and lay out in the sun with my latte and Paul had some orange juice and a croissant and we watched as the ship sailed into Grand Cayman

Here we have to tender onto the island, we didn't have any excursions planned so we let the mad rush to disembark go ahead

Around 11ish Brent announced that the line for disembarkation was low, so we got ready and headed to Animator's Palette to pick up a ticket. We were able to disembark straight away and in no time were stepping into a tender boat

We had no plans for Grand Cayman so wandered around the jewellery shops (defo out of our price range), took some photos and then ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe where we were able to catch up with our girls on-line, check emails etc. we spent a very nice couple of hours having 3 Hurricanes each, sharing onion rings and chicken tenders and generally chilling, as you can imagine the time flew by

We called into various stores on the way back to the ship, looking at watches for Paul and buying our girls a pressy each from Victoria's Secret. We had a lovely afternoon

We made our way back to the tender boats and were back home in a few minutes. We dropped our stuff back at the room, changed into our sunbathing stuff then headed up to Deck 11 for some tuna wraps, fruit and a cookie

We grabbed a frozen Rum Runner from the Cove Bar, then watched the ship turn around and leave the Cayman Islands around 5pm

We sat out for a little while then returned to our stateroom to get showered and changed for dinner, which tonight was in the Enchanted Garden. We grabbed a Rum Runner from Bon Voyage, then joined our Swiss tablemates (it looks like we'll just be a table of four from now on), and we had a lovely evening talking about chocolate (one of my favourite subjects lol) and how we all enjoyed Cadbury's chocolate, and I was surprised that they had even tried a MaltEaster's Bunny

For our starters we both had Tomato Soup, then for our mains Paul had Sea Bass and I had Pork Tenderloin, and we finished off with the Sweet Temptation for me and the Sundae for Paul

After dinner we had a final drink in La Piazza, a delish lemon Cosmo for me and another Rum Runner for Paul, then it was time for bed

Tomorrow ~ Costa Maya

A lovely day in Grand Cayman Mandy. Sian and Daniel are intending to do the Dolphin swim here so Gary and I will probably do much the same as you and Paul - eat, drink, shop

 

[HeartWDW]

Once again, those sunsets are so lovely

 

[irongirlof12]

Lovely relaxing day

 

[Chilly]

I take it the swiss people spoke English then or do you have a hidden talent Mandy.

 

[ukintheus]

What a nice lazy day in the Caymans. I love your sparkly sandles!

 

[Linda67]

Sounds like a wonderful day in Grand Cayman, sometimes it's really nice to not have any specific plans and just play it by ear

 

[mandymouse]

Thanks for taking the time to read my trippy and leave your comments guys

I can't think of a better plan Joh

I may have many talents Claire, but Swiss isn't one of them Yes their English was very good
