Grand Cayman 1999

I booked a very long time before...I made sure I saved 5 days off work for this special holiday...Franco booked with me and then about a month before leaving my friend Ilario from italy joined in. 4 days before going, Luisa as well decided to come along, making things much easier for all of us...4, good number...

We spent a few hours in Miami, with a very nice friend, Ibrahim, who took us to his wonderful flat and also for a tour of Ocean Drive...

We arrived finally in Grand Cayman on Saturday night, and it was ...pouring, raining, pissing down...very very depressing...the weather had been horribly bad in the previous two weeks and had made my life miserable...I was too depressed to even pack..in fact I had taken with me long sleeves shirts, study books, playing card, waterproof trousers and...umbrella!

The next day was our first dive...of course cancelled...! Depressing definitely...

But thanks to the gods up in the sky the weather started turning nice on monday..we even dove on the sunday, under a grey cloudy sky, a hot hot hot humid air and rough sea...and started having a hell of a time!
