This weekend saw the annual invasion of the pirates. The weekend opened with a huge street party, live music and fireworks in George Town on the dockside on Friday evening.
Saturday was a street food extravaganza. One that was so rudely interrupted by two pirate galleons hoving into view. Hundreds poured ashore, the local garrison of Redcoats bravely ran to repel their invasion. But just like last year they were soon overwhelmed and captured!
With the invasion complete the party really began and Cayman’s Pirate Heritage reasserted itself as the Islands once again became Las Tortugas. The poor Redcoats were paraded through town at the head of a carnival. Pirates were everywhere.
Naturally the only way to survive was to blend in…
With our faultless disguises we fitted right in and joined the revels. Bands and DJ’s ruled the streets and the street party began.
Sunday saw us retreat to the Westin for brunch.
and a bank holiday staycashion.
You’ll be pleased to hear once again the Redcoats escaped. They arrested the ring leaders and law and order were restored.
