Fri 4 Dec

Today we woke up around 10am and went down and made pancakes with the rest of our hostile. While we were eating our pancakes, we kept getting harassed by at least 10 different guys who wanted to take us on tours. Once we were finished with breakfast, first switched rooms and got a dorm with air conditioning for two dollars more. Then, we made a deal with one of the men and we went on a tour with a couple other people from our hostile. One guys named Dustin who I later became good friends with, and four Germans, three girls named Linda, Lea, Masha, and one man named Flow. Our first stop was the Dolphins. When we got there, the guide then decided to mention to us that you usually can’t see the dolphins at this time of day, only in the morning. We laughed it off because we got scammed pretty badly there so we decided to take this tour into our own hands, the guy then told us that he was taking us to a restaurant because that’s what all of the tours do. I feel like the whole business is run by some mafia because the trip was already worked out on where we were going to eat and stuff. So when we arrived at the restaurant, we told him we weren’t going to eat until we snorkeled. So he was mad but took us snorkeling, once we were done with that, he took us to the restaurant and was happy that we got off the boat because his plan was working to get us into the restaurant. Little did he know that Matt and I had previously purchased a loaf of bread, peanut butter, Jelly, chips, and a drink for a grand total of $10 at the supermarket. We sat down and shared with everyone in o0ur group. When we did the math at the end, all together we saved about $60 and that just set this tour guide into flames. He wasn’t too happy with us but we didn’t care because we weren’t going to be the stupid tourist who got worked by these tour guides. Our last stop was a beach, we told him we wanted to stay here for three hours and then asked him to pick us up after that. Matt, Masha, Dustin, and I got off the boat and walked to the beach. A man came and greeted us and told us to holler at him if we needed anything. We sat on the beach for a while, then Dustin and I went exploring a little bit and then decided to go to the dock and chill. We told each other about our trips and it was fun to hear his wild stories. After we went to the man and asked him for a knife to cut a pineapple I had brought. He then cut it for us and we shared the whole pineapple with his kids and everyone. We had a nice talk with the man and he told us that some of the Survivor T.V. shows were filmed on this island. Then he showed us his two pet Alligators. They were about a meter and one half long but you could only see there eyes in the water. We talked with the nice man until the boat came and said our goodbyes. After our tour, we took showers and got ready to go out. We went to a Chinese restaurant which was ok, then went to a bar. Dustin and I met two girls from Australia and played pool with them for a while, then went dancing with them at another bar. After I got tired said goodbye, then Dustin, Matt, and I went back to our hostile and crashed.
