The “bus station” at Grand Cayman. Pick the numbered bus according to where you want to go.<\/p><\/div>\n
After that, your guess is as good as mine what routes they take. I asked at the little stand at the terminal if they have a map that shows each route. I was told that they are working on that. What I have since discovered is that there seem to be no set routes. I\u2019m convinced they just go in the general direction. You tell the bus driver where you want to go and if it\u2019s not too far out of his way, he\u2019ll take you there. It\u2019s only a few bucks to go almost anywhere. For a couple bucks more he\u2019ll take you a little farther out of the way.<\/p>\n
There are bus stops but unless you are just looking for shade, you don\u2019t need to worry about finding one. Just stand along the side of the road and wave down the bus. On my trip we picked up and dropped off people all along the way\u2026 none standing at bus stops. As you\u2019ve probably guessed, the bus really doesn\u2019t keep any schedule. When it gets there depends on the route and where folks want to go. I did say this isn\u2019t for the meek didn\u2019t I.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t even sure of the place I wanted to go to. The directions I had were something like this; \u201cIt\u2019s on the Oueen\u2019s highway\u2026 there\u2019s a long brick wall near an abandoned resort project\u2026 and if you get to East End you\u2019ve gone too far.\u201d The place had a name, but I really didn\u2019t remember it. There was some more description and I had looked at the area using Google Earth, so I did have at least a little idea what it looked like. I wasn\u2019t totally crazy. I knew that if I missed the place I could just stay on the bus and ride it back to George Town.<\/p>\n
By the time we got to the Queen\u2019s Highway I was the only passenger left in the bus. The driver was trying to help me out. He was going kinda slow while I looked out for the place. I saw a brick wall and said there it is\u2026 but then I wasn\u2019t so sure. So we kept on going.<\/p>\n
Another few miles I saw an abandoned resort and knew that was it. The bus driver stopped and let me out. As I got out I asked when the next bus would be by. e He gave me a kinda funny look and said he wasn\u2019t sure. If they don\u2019t have passengers that need to come this way, they often turn around and go back to town. He suggested that I would have the best luck if I walked back to the last town.<\/p>\n
I thought about getting back on the bus. But I had come this far and wasn\u2019t going back without getting to the spot I had come for. I gave him five bucks and he drove off into the distance. I stood there for a minute or two and not another vehicle came by. Oh well\u2026 time to go see the beach. It\u2019s what I had come for. I walked down this little gravel road that led down into the jungle. I knew that the beach wasn\u2019t far away, but I was a little worried what may be in the jungle to eat me.<\/p>\n
