A sea day was filled with great food, warm weather and interesting lectures.
After a day at sea, the ship dropped anchor just before 9 o’clock this morning, and we were tendered ashore. Today we went our separate ways—Chenggang joined a kayaking and snorkeling tour, while Connie headed to Seven Mile Beach on her own.
The kayaking tour began at Mollie’s Beach Club, about a 15-minute drive from the tender port. Because two groups from the ship were participating, Chenggang’s group relaxed on the beach first, soaking in the beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Then they set off on their adventure, kayaking across the water to another beach about a mile away. From there, they swam out to a dead coral reef known locally as the “Cemetery Reefs.” Unfortunately, the snorkeling was quite disappointing, with only a few small fish to be seen.
Meanwhile, Connie took a public bus to Seven Mile Beach. Widely regarded as one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean, it did not disappoint. She enjoyed a leisurely stroll along the long stretch of soft white sand, fully embracing the relaxed island atmosphere.
After a quick late lunch, we set out to explore downtown George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands. Interestingly, since it was Sunday, all the shops were closed—but the streets were filled with a parade of luxury cars, which was quite a sight to behold.
Dinner was at Umi Uma, a Nobu restaurant on board, and as always, it did not disappoint.
Overall, despite its fame as a tax haven, both George Town and the Cayman Islands felt surprisingly low-key and did not leave us with a strong impression of great wealth.

在海上航行一天之后，邮轮在今天上午九点前便抛锚停泊，我们乘坐接驳艇上岸。今天我们各自分头行动——成刚参加了皮划艇和浮潜之旅，而佩民则独自前往著名的七英里海滩。
皮划艇行程从 Mollie’s Beach Club 开始，距离接驳码头大约15分钟车程。由于当天有两组邮轮客人同时参加，成刚所在的小组先在沙滩上休息，静静欣赏加勒比海迷人的海景，随后划着皮划艇前往一英里外的另一处海滩。接着，他们又游到一处已经死亡的珊瑚礁，当地人称之为“珊瑚公墓（Cemetery Reefs）”。遗憾的是，这次浮潜体验相当令人失望，只看到零星几条小鱼。
与此同时，佩民乘坐公共巴士前往七英里海滩。这里被公认为加勒比地区最美的海滩之一，果然名不虚传。她沿着绵延洁白的沙滩悠闲地散步，尽情享受轻松惬意的海岛风光。之后她又坐公共巴士回到码头，一个人在码头附近走了一圈才回船。
简单吃过一顿晚午餐后，我们前往开曼群岛的首府——乔治敦市区。由于是周日，几乎所有商店都关门歇业。但码头边的街道上停了一辆辆造型奢华的名车，大喇叭放着震耳的音乐，一场豪车巡游正在进行，令人印象深刻。
晚餐在船上我们最喜欢的Umi Uma 餐厅享用，这家 Nobu 日本餐厅，一如既往地令人满意。
总体而言，虽然开曼群岛以“避税天堂”闻名于世，但无论是乔治敦还是整座岛屿，都给我们一种意外低调的感觉，并没有留下特别富裕奢华的强烈印象。
