Scammed by a Taxi Driver/Horrible Wax
(Boys had a better day with Sardines and Turles Sighting)
We took our time getting up in the morning. I didn’t like the breakfast at the Emoik Guest House. At breakfast Rebecca and I decided that we would try to find a place to get our legs waxed. We agreed to pay 250p for a bike taxi to take us on a round trip to the city mall. Now that being sad… When we got to the city the taxi drive said “Mall closed for holy week!” before he even turned into the mall parking-lot. He knew it was closed the whole time. What a Scammer! I ended up paying him 200p once he brought us back, which I shouldn’t have even done. Jerk!
Rebecca and I continued to look for a place to get our leg waxed and walked all over the city. We took a break and meet up with the boys to eat lunch. They were having a better day than us. They said that they had been free-diving in a tornado of sardines and saw a turtle. They caught it all on my GoPro. I was pretty jealous! I wish I decided to go with them even though my legs were making me look like a wooly mammoth.
We all walked down the bay to find a spot on the beach to watch the sunset. On the way we found a place that would wax my legs at (I can’t remember what the place was called. I will look it up and add it later!) If you want to call it a wax…more like torture treatment. She was horrible! My hair was defiantly long enough, but she used a cold wax and didn’t rub the strip on my leg really. Every time she would rip a strip off she would attempt to tweeze the remaining ones she had missed, which the strips didn’t get a lot of hair. It hurt bad. I told her to stop and not worry about it. I paid the full price though again I shouldn’t have.
I meet back up with the others at the beach. I decided to joined Albin and Johan free diving maybe being in the water would bring me better luck for the rest of the day. I was nervous because the water was low by the corrals. When we finally swam past the corrals to where there was a wall and we could free-dive. When I say we I mean Albin and Johan and I take videos. haha! I took videos with my GoPro. The tide was going down more so I convinced them to swim back to the shore. I was scared to be honest. The tide was getting so low I almost didn’t have enough water to swim over the corals. I really was over today!

Thank you! I did it myself, through bluehost. I am using Ashe Theme, but design most of it myself. I do get a little help from a plug-in called Elementor for layout.
