Snorkel with the Whale Sharks
... disappointed by the size of the boat (maybe 25'), limited shade and no head. Seems like a long time for 6 tourists, a captain and a guide to be in that space without a head. Fruit and refreshments were supposed to be provided, which actually was an apple slightly larger than a roma tomato and a bottle of water.
The boat was fast with two Yamaha 150 outboard motors. Expecting a hour and a half boat ride to the shark area, the first 20 minutes went ...
Cool day - Great Company
(David)

I didn't touch the whale shark, it touched ...
Singing In The Rain
... carried on and outside into the heat. I figured there would be cheaper cabs outside by rival companies. But no. There's just another fifty people from this same company all vying for attention. I really didn't know which way to look and eventually a guy stepped forward and spoke to me in English. They were all from the same company so it didn't matter too much who I went to, really. He explained that a cab downtown would be 600 pesos, which is about $60 in US money. When ...
