Day 3 Grand Cayman Shopping Day!!

Awoke at 7am and it’s still overcast. The ship rocked last night and I don’t mean in the disco! It wasn’t enough to make me feel queasy though. The forecast is 80F with showers, not that we mind, we’re not heading for the glorious Seven mile beach; I’m dragging Phil to Diamonds International! Well, we are in our 30th year and yes I know that means pearls, but do you see me as a pearly queen, NO I don’t think so. Off to brekkie now, see you later and I’ll let you know how the shopping went, that's if the Captain lets us off, it's a bit windy in the bay.
Well after much negotiation between Phil and the General Manager, who was also on the phone with the owner, struck a good deal and I’ve got a gorgeous whopper! We chose the diamond which is Princess cut then chose the setting which has more Princess diamonds. At the moment I’m wearing it without my wedding ring, because there isn’t enough room! We had lunch at Breezers, our girls will recognise it as we’ve been before. We sat outside and I could feel my left arm burning, so obviously the weather picked up and was very warm, no rain! We set sail at 6pm heading now towards the Panama Canal.
