I’m not sure what I was expecting here, but I only really knew of the Cayman Is. as an offshore financial hub where various opaque laws allowed the rich and deceitful to squirrel away their squillions. That may be the case and I have seen some impressive mansions near the beaches/ocean, but on the whole the majority of people seem to just be going about their lives in boring normal fashion. The roads are good, they seem to mostly follow the rules, there doesn’t seem to be much security about, but you need to contrast that with random chickens just wandering about everywhere.

Feels a bit like Oahu, Hawaii when you get out of Honolulu. I suspect that is because the majority of people on the island are, like most places, the people doing the service jobs and the work to allow a functioning first world society.

Hotels and resorts in and near George Town seemed very expensive, so I booked a room in an Airbnb place and it was fine.
