Shopping In Cayman Islands
November 14th 2008 14:36
Shopping ? What is that ? For those of you who love to shop, Cayman Islands are not exactly the epitome of the ultimate shopping experience. The population here is about 60,000, give or take a couple of thousand, and about half of that population is on roll over (that is they are about to leave the island within a maximum of seven years) so you are not going to get many stores stocking up here. Shopping can also be an expensive hobby here in Grand Cayman, because everything sold in shops here is imported and after the freight, duties and other charges to get the products here, you may think twice before you buy anything in Cayman Islands.
Many of my Caymanian friends actually boast about going to Panama or Miami simply to shop, so if you are coming to Cayman Islands take shopping of your list of things to do because you will be disappointed. However, having said that, you may want to check out the duty free shops for designer perfumes, jewelery and watches, as these tend to be much cheaper than most countries I have visited.
