Day 11: Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Because our stop in the Cayman Islands was a tender port, we waited until we were on shore before making any plans. Once at port, we booked a catamaran tour.
Our first stop was at stingray city.
Here we waded on a sandbar and could pet, feed, and even kiss stingrays.
Our next stop was at a snorkel spot.
Here we saw a sea turtle near the boat.
Our last stop was at starfish point, where we could hold starfish. I stayed on the boat, but Steve got off.

From there, we headed back to the dock.
Once back at the port, we took a tender 
back to the ship.
As we left the port, 
I enjoyed a mai tai before dinner 
I tried this appetizer: potato salad with grilled octopus and lemon dressing. The octopus was so bad that even Steve wouldn't eat it!
For my main, I ordered the chipotle roasted strip steak with avocado, tortilla chips, and chimichuri. This was tasty, but the beef wasn't strip steak and pickled vegetables are not chimichuri sauce!
For dessert, I had carrot cake. This was a little dry but had good flavor.
