Here is the latest currency conversion rate
1 Cayman Islands Dollar = 1.22500 US Dollar

You can see how expensive the food is that is listed on the menu.
$10 Cayman dollars = $12.25 US dollars

All the food and drink is expensive there since they have no agriculture to speak of, and need to import most of their food products.
This is the place!!!!

Or tender back to ship.

It is across from the Library and Bus station.

Thanks for the current exchange rate!

In the past I've always kept the ball-park figure of 20% in my head ... while not exact, it's always "in the neighborhood"!

An easy way to I remember the exchange is US$1= 80 cents Cayman, but judging from the exchange Char posted, ithe US dollar is losing value(well, I knew that).

We had lunch at the hard Rock Cafe when we were there in 2005. We also saw Senor Frogs. Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville is now open there too.
