We are really here!

The flight was long and then it took a while to get through immigration but we are now officially Cayman Island Residents!

Customs was interesting, we caused something of a panic, turns out taped up rubble bags full of Lego look just like contraband on the X-ray… Turns out it was the Islands biggest Lego bust but they let us go with a laugh, just.

We were met at the airport by Tara and Chiara from the Ministry they brought a minibus! Which was lucky given all the bags we had.

All settled into the hotel dinner by the pool and Poppy went for a dip!

Huge storm last night, we woke up to rainbows and sunshine. I snuck out and hit the sea at 6:15am just stunning. Came back and got everyone else up for a pre-breakfast dip.

We are going for an explore today and a tour of the island! More later.

Later…

Jo took us around the island today and showed us all sorts of sights, we saw the outside of our new home and met our neighbour Damian ‘Damo’ an Ausie paddle board coach he seemed very nice. He has already offered to take us out. He has lived in the block for 6 years and loves it.

Jo said our house is in a nice area, a mix of expat and Caymanian homes in a quiet street. I liked it. It is going to be really convenient for James and Poppy getting to school.

We saw a few cars, I have my eye on a battered old jeep.

We went to Smith’s Cove. it is right by our house and it is lovely.

So much info my head is spinning!

Oh and James bought a water melon, he says it was very nice. Thanks James. Well Victoria said he had to have a piece of fruit…

Today was very busy. We had a long journey round the island as we were on a tour with a lady called Jo. My favourite place that we went to was Smith’s Cove. We only put our feet in the water but it was lovely and refreshing after being in that hot stuffy car for a while. I liked when we went to the house, i peeked through the window and i could see almost the same image that was on the website; the sofas and kitchen. The beach was amazing, the water was really warm and we even saw some fish and a hermit crab! We saw various other animals roaming free like massive iguanas and chickens.

Another day of adventure awaits… P.
