An excellent driving tour. Didn't realize though that The Caymans had such a relatively intense car culture. Cars everywhere, it seemed. For some reason, I thought the island might be more walkable. Saw just a couple of people walking. Don't recall seeing any bikes or scooters. Sort of gives off a rather lonely vibe being inside a car so much, but many parts of the planet seem headed in that direction.
I just took a tour of my Birth Place. The changes is amazing after 57 years of leaving at a very young age I think the Hotel you started from look very familiar Comfort Suites, the place I always stayed when I go for a visit
Ah, beautiful Comfort Suites, just across from Coconut Joe sports bar. Stayed there 4 times and enjoyed it each time. Coconut Joe's sports bar and restaurant a nice spot to hang out at nights.
Thanks for posting this Kevin. We stay there too! And since we can't be there this January due to the pandemic, it's really nice to take this drive with you - lots of familiar sites.
#1 tip living in Cayman is avoid getting your car repaired at GT Automotive - they are the biggest crooks on island charging 5-6 times more than what a part is worth i.e. $850 for a part worth $175 elsewhere on island!
Ocho Rios City looks better. Ocho Rios is Jamaica's most sophisticated, opulent, desirable, dreamy, adventurous and livable international city by far. George Town is just business community that's manicure.
Anthony, Stop talk shit bro. Where the hell you get it that the video was put up for comparison? Secondly Ocho Rios is not a city. The world knows only 2 cities in Jamaica: MoBay and Kingston. You here talking about "livable international" ?? Man? KMFT. I love Jamaica but yu need to stop the shit talk bro. For over 30 years, Jamaica been in the top 6 most murderous country in the world. So Don't sweep that under the rug while yu a try talk down other people's country.
Marshall you talking down Jamaica by reminding the world of its past history. You have no desire for progress. Every year since 2017, Jamaica has pulled about 4million+ visitors you shoved that under the rug. Ocho Rios may not declare a "city", but it has more to see and do than Georgetown. It's not disrespectful, it's just facts!!!! Ocho Rios has been identified as Jamaica attractions capital for the international traveler even more than Motego Bay. Ocho Rios had a Stringray facility that don't even advertise or listed on the tourist board of attractions. It has Turtle Farm, Snorkeling, Rock formation similar to "hell". Let me put this into perspective so you could understand. The historic town of Falmouth which located between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay that was upgraded to a resort town in 2011 by Royal Caribbean International, has all the Oasic Class mega ships that only dock in Falmouth because it has the deepest water at that pier. However, majority of those mega ship passengers took more day trips to Ocho Rios than anywhere else on the island; even some Montego Bay cruise passengers booked day trips to Ocho Rios. You are too narrow- minded to understand progress. Has " dangerous " as you think Jamaica is, Ocho Rios always kept it together even in Jamaica darkest days of the 70s and 80s. Nothing wrong if I said Ocho Rios has more to offer than Grand Cayman. Ocho Rios has more attractions the some islands. You sound like someone who hates progress. You sound like a Jamaican abroad who sell out. I bet you would be happy if you heard of tourist being massacre in Jamaica, so you could tell better about your island.
@@anthonyfrancis9363 Reminding the world of past history?? Go sit down. The current murder rate for the past 30 years has placed Jamaica in the top 6 most murderous countries in the world. That is not an opinion. So cut the bullshit bout "its past history." Explain why there is need for the numerous SOE currently across the island if it's "past history?" Man quiet yu self. And if you think am gonna sweep things under the rug like so many of you do, then you dreaming of snow in summer. I will forever lament the state of affairs until true change occurs. You are here painting picture of a booming tourist industry as if that has anything to do with the point I made. And since you read but missed the substance of my argument, here it is again: The vlogger posted a video showing a town in Cayman. Your reaction is to tell him how Ocho Rios is looks better and "desirable ... livable international city." Did Kevin 12 tell you he posted the video for comparison? Did he say his town is better than Ocho Rios (or any place in Jamaica)?? No he didn't. He only showcase his town by video. Yet you, like a kid in a new pair of shoes, rather than appreciate the video, sought to "talk down" his town when he did no such thing to yours, nor did his video indicated such. Now you come here talking about 4 million tourists as though that was ever in contention. Massa go siddung yah.
@@anthonyfrancis9363 Take the time to understand what you read. For you are talking a ton of stuff, which, even if true, failed to address the main point raised. Kevin 12 is showing his town to the world; Great, he has a right to show off his town. Why on earth would you have issue with that? And why do you think is it necessary to discredit Georgetown in order to promote your town? And especially when his video said nothing negative about any place else? Don't you see that is messed up? SMH. And given the above, you should not be calling another person "narrow-minded" or that they hate progress.

Thanks for this. This is the first tour I found that covers roads other than the one that goes around the entire island.
this is one *BEAUTIFUL ISLAND* in the Caribbean.
