To Hell and Back

     Grand Cayman is an interesting place.  As the largest of the 3 Cayman Islands, it is also the most populated with the most wealth and investment potential.  The capitol city, Georgetown, is clean and modern, bright with the colors of the Caribbean painted on many of the buildings.  Driving past the Governor's Residence on the island's western coast there are numerous luxurious seaside hotels with access to beautiful 7 Mile Beach.  And on the northernmost corner of the island is Sting Ray City where tourists can frolic with the docile sting rays in the warm waters.



     But few tourists are aware of a very small village on the island located on an out-of-the-way road.  It is quite literally the road to Hell.  Hell, Grand Cayman, that is.  A natural formation formed from the earth has the likeness of what we might imagine Hell to look like.


     Our driver drove us to Hell to take a look around after we had visited the sea turtle farm and the Rum Cake factory store.  And wouldn't you know it, some clever entrepreneur manages a gift shop there and dresses up in a red cape and horns as he greets people who stop by.
  And I was able to have my passport stamped to prove that I had been to Hell and back.
