Governor Helen Kilpatrick has wasted no time getting to know the Cayman Islands.

Last Thursday 12 September 2013, Mrs Kilpatrick flew to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac for a whirlwind tour of those islands, including sites of environmental, social and historic interest.

Among these were the Central Caribbean Marine Institute on Little Cayman, as well as Kirkconnell Community Centre, Faith Hospital and Heritage House on Cayman Brac.

The new Governor also took time meet with members of the public on both Islands.

Deputy Premier, Moses Kirkconnell, MLA, acted as her host during the tour.

District visits by the Governor continue through the month of September.
