Our third port of call was Georgetown, Cayman Islands. We bought several bottles of rum on this island. Saw lots of Tortuga rum cakes for sale. The CI is where you can join an excursion and swim with stingrays! Of course, being the foodie that I am, I wanted to sample some of their local treats. Ate a delicious, hot-from-the-oven Jamaican pattie that was made in a local bakery that also made their own rum cake. Sale of vanilla extract everywhere! As hubs and I walked further into the downtown area, we witnessed three local police officers issuing a parking citation to a local woman. The lady was so outraged at receiving the ticket that she whipped out her little notebook, wrote down the names of the three officers and confidently told them that her boss, the education minister, will take care of the matter. She heatedly claimed that she had to park where she was because she was doing work for the education minister. As the lady continued to argue with the officers, hubs was secretly hoping to witness a little hancuff and arrest action. Didn't happen. After the angry woman drove off, we continued our self-directed walking tour. Saw a couple of restaurants that tickled our funny bones. A MacDonald's that sold chicken. A seaside restaurant that served turtle soup. I didn't try the turtle soup---had just come off the ship with a belly full of food.
