Snorkeling Trip

Today, I learned that taking a group of 75 Thai people on a day trip to snorkel all around the island with only three staff is a VERY tiring job.  My job today was basically to tow people back and forth -- usually several at once, by having them hang on to life jackets that I pulled.  As I mentioned in my previous post, Thai people generally don't know how to swim.  Which is perfectly fine, except when they want to go snorkeling!  Many of them got tired after a few minutes but still wanted to see the fish, so they asked me to tow them around the bay and then take them back to the boat.  3 bays, 45 mins of swimming at each site.  10 am to 4 pm OMG so exhausted.  But hey, great workout! ;P
