As the sun slowly settles into the water I sit quietly on the porch of our modest hut reflecting on today's boat trip. Not quite what I expected out of a snorkeling trip there were still many beautiful fish to see who don't mind swimming with you one bit. I was hoping for beautiful florescent choral and dozens of different fish but saw neutral choral and about three different types of florescent fish, beautiful in their own way. The best was when the tour guides would throw a piece of fruit in by you and they would swarm around you, oddly enough never touching you.
Since it was mainly a cloudy day, going to the fish farm to see sharks and turtles was definitely the highlight. We feasted on fruit and made friends with everyone on the boat. We are all meeting for drinks to continue getting to know each other. A couple from Hawaii, their son, about our age who works at a winery in California, a gal from Finland who was a dancer, a professional one, not like the Russian stripper dancing on the table at the bar we were at the other night (take note it wasn't a strip club) and a couple from Copenhagen. Hopefully we will even run into Bart, from Amsterdam, and make it a free for all. I had to mention him simply because he introduced himself as Bart, like Bart Simpson. But Chels heard Marge, like Marge Simpson, so Jenna heard Marge like margarine. I will never play telephone with these girls.
BB's Boat Tips
1) since the days of finding rocky waters fun and long gone situate yourself between the two largest people on the boat.
2) steer clear of sitting across from the guy with the loose shorts. It gets windy on the boat and that visual is melted into my mind, oh god.
3) don't be hungover, I managed that one believe it or not.
4) brace yourself, it turns into a race with the other tours.
5) be prepared for the boat to make a sharp turn and you end up getting fresh with the last person you wanted to get fresh with.
6) unless you are Kate Winslet, Leonardo Dicaprio, or Rhianna you don't look good on a boat with the wind in your hair, sorry it's a fact, it's life. So don't bother even trying.
Fun fact: A Thai family of five can comfortably ride on a moped
