“Turen startede en halv time senere end planlagt, men sluttede stadig til den planlagte tid. Guiden var en smule aggressiv og råbte hele tiden. Stoppene fungerede egentlig fint nok, men nogle af stoppene var liiiige lange nok, fx som et stop på én strand, hvor vi var i én time eller Maya Bay, hvor vi var i halvanden time. Maden ombord på båden var også lidt nærigt, med en lille portion fried rice, én vand per person samt nogle stykker annanas, fordelt på ca 9 timer. Vi fik heller ikke alle stop med som lovet, fx var vi ikke forbi det sted, hvor man kunne dykke med hajer, og senere…”
