CAYMAN ISLANDS ~ Hell Town ~

... Strange things can happen in postcard land  ʘ͜͡ʘ... sometimes you have a special place on your wishlist and thinking never ever to get one from there... and than unexpected you got two within a couple of weeks... this one is even better because it was stamped at "Hell Town's" tiny post office itself... Thanks a lot Roos!!【ツ】

Hell is a group of short, black, limestone formations in Grand Cayman located in West Bay, it is roughly the size of half a soccer field. Visitors are not permitted to walk on the limestone formations but viewing platforms are provided.

Regardless of how it first came to be called Hell, the name stuck and the area has become a tourist attraction, featuring a fire-engine red hell-themed post office from which you can send “postcards from hell”, and a gift shop with "Satan" Ivan Farrington passing out souvenirs while greeting people with phrases like ‘How the hell are you?’ and ‘Where the hell are you from?’
