What type of souvenir would you buy at GC

[ep1080]

Hi, any suggestion on what to get and where to get it.

A lot of people mention rum cakes, do they have a lot of alcohol, and

where would you suggest to get it around Grand Cayman. I think we will

be going to Stingray City, Is there any place around Stingray City or near

the cruise port ?

Thanks for your input

More info on rum cakes is here: http://www.tortugarumcakes.com/

Not sure of the exact amount, but I don't find them to be too heavy on the rum.

 

There's no shopping near Stingray City since it's out in the middle of the ocean, but there's tons of shopping near the port area.

Thanks for the reply. have you tried them, are they really sweet. I am mostly thinking of giving it as souvenirs. Where would be a good place to

get on the island, or they are everywhere, cheaper to get there or online?

I have had several of the flavors. I think the chocolate is probably the least sweet. I found the banana and the original quite sweet and they tasted quite rummy. I would probably buy them from the Tortuga store. They are available in almost every store on the island, but there is a better variety and choice of sizes at the main store.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know where the main store is located ?

How about their Blue mountain coffee, have you tried it ?

Any other souvenir you would recommend or general souvenir shops to

get T shirts, beach bags etc ?

We bought some beer bottle koozies...with GC logo.....that's all! (Not huge souvenier folks!)...it was as a small shop about 1 block from the tender dock.

There's a store on Church St, which is the main street just outside the port area. It will be perhaps a 5 min walk - to your right as you leave the tender area. They usually have a variety of samples to try inside the store.

The main store is on the main street. Its been a few years since I've been there, so I can't give directions, but if I remember, it isn't hard to find and everyone knows where it is. It was within walking distance of the port.

I haven't tried the coffee.

Last time I was there, I bought a ceramic stingray christmas tree ornament ( it was wearing a santa hat). I don't buy alot of souvenirs so I am probably don't have the best info on that.

thanks for all the input. If anyone has any suggestion , please keep it

coming.

By the way, is there any restaurant around the cruise terminal that you

would recommend for a family lunch ( don't need anything fancy, just

someplace decent and clean)

We prefer Blackbeards rum cake over Tortuga, if you eat enough you can get a slight buzz. Look for hot sauces and caymanite jewelery.

Breezes is close and offers nice views of town and the port
