Very rough start to gap year-been working at the Cannes boat show for under legal minimum wage, and it's abysmally tough. I am away 12 hours a day although tomorrow it's 15 hours... Pretty much nonstop work helping out a barman, which isn't as cool as it might sound as I spend nearly all my time in the storage of the boat, squeezing lemons and limes, sorting through rotten fruit, crushing ice, washing glasses, taking heavy loads of waste to an inconveniently remote dump and finally going on treks with 20 kgs of ice, trying to get around the slow herds of people before my arms fall off. The bar isn't even on the boat, so I have to keep coming on and off the boat, which must be kept squeaky clean for visitors-I was bollocked because a bag of ice leaked some water onto the deck. Amazing boat, worth a painful amount of money... I think if I damaged the bridge that gets us on and off the boat my life insurance wouldn't cover it.
At least the chap I work for is good fun, he's Dutch and sponsored/works for a liquor company called Bols. Ruben is a fantastic juggler (I think it's called flaring) so is quite the attraction for the clients of the boat. 3 days, 39 hours to go! Exhausted and sore but not altogether demotivated! (God help me)
