Before the trip, Devin and I researched all the "to dos" of Grand Cayman. We had a list of things we wanted to do, but didn't planned anything out because we didn't want live the week on a strict schedule. On our second day on the island, we headed to Georgetown by bus. Georgetown is a very tourist driven town. Every day 5 - 6 cruise ships visit the port which makes for a hectic morning and quiet afternoon when they all leave.
We were able to find a tour to Sting Ray City which was at the top of our site seeing list. We headed out on a 45 minute ride sitting atop the boat. I knew we were getting close as there was a large group of boats surrounding one area. It was a huge sandbar that was shallow enough to stand up in the middle of the ocean. The crew brought out some food and the stingrays started surrounding us. They would swim between our legs. At first it was a bit scary. After all the Crocodile Hunter was killed by a Sting Ray. We all took turns feeding, holding, and touching the animals. They were softer than I imagined. It was definitely one of my favorite moments of the trip.
On our way back to shore, we stopped and snorkeled. Devin was more adventurous than I was, diving deep into the water to get close up to the reef and fish. With our underwater camera casing, we were able to capture all of these moments. I think we have 100+ pictures of fish from our trip.
We spent the rest of the day at the hotel. We played in the water and grabbed some dinner before getting some much needed rest after a long day.
