One of the great places in Cayman is beautiful\u00a0Rum Point. It was Julie’s friend Genevieve’s last full day with us so we figured it was a great way to finish up her vacation.\u00a0 Before heading out to Rum Point, Gen & I went to Eden Rock (in Georgetown) for a quick\u00a0snorkel.\u00a0 Eden Rock is like\u00a0“jumping into an\u00a0aqurium” ; there are loads of fish and they are not afraid of humans.\u00a0 However,\u00a0many humans are afraid of the\u00a0resident familiy of Tarpons.\u00a0 These Tarpons\u00a0vary from\u00a03.5 –\u00a05 ft in lengh and not very pretty.\u00a0 They are HUGE though and could easily be mistaken for a shark by someone who is not familiar with\u00a0the local\u00a0fish.\u00a0 Tarpons are totally harmeless though.\u00a0 Its amazing to\u00a0be able to swim up close & personal with these giants\u00a0(you can easily get to within 2 feet of them)<\/p>\n

After the snorkel, we went back to\u00a0Savannah (our house) to pick up Julie &\u00a0drive to Rum Point.\u00a0 Run point is about a 35 minute drive from where we live. \u00a0 Rum Point is on the north side of Cayman, on the eastern side of the Sound (the Sound being the large U shaped bay which eats up about 1\/3 of the islands surface.<\/p>\n

At Rum point there beach chairs, a white sandy beach, shade,\u00a0hamacks & the most amazing blue turquoise water you will every see.\u00a0 The picture at the top of this page\u00a0(the pier ; is at Rum Point)\u00a0 Julie & I have been there quite a few times now and are always amazed by this place. Anyone who comes to visit us will for sure want to spend at least half a day here.\u00a0 Its a great place to swim, snorkel, enjoy a Fish & chips at the\u00a0outdoor restaurant\u00a0or just read a book & take it easy. Here are some pics of our day.<\/p>\n
