Hotel Medhufushi Male

... watched the sun go down, had dinner and then to bed again. DAY 3: The third day was more active. We had breakfast at the Fushi Cafe. Lots of good stuff. It was a nice sunny day. It does got much hotter under the sun. In fact for couple of days we avoided going out during afternoon as it was just too hot. We passed the day walking around the beach exploring. In the afternoon we went snorkelling. The guy (instructor) took us on a sail boat into the deeper ...

Sorry I haven't written much, I was busy before and the internet was slower than it is now. I am back in Male awaiting our trip back to America. Let me recap the last few days in Addu. I went out snorkeling a few more times, but only grabbed a underwater camera for the last two trips out. I will probably get the pictures developed when I get back home. I have gotten pretty good at spearing fish, and eventually got some bigger ones. We went out another day to try net fishing. They ...

... stuff) with soft/hard corals, loads of muray eels, a few sharks, turtles, eagle rays and quite a few Manta rays. The visibility varied a lot, but all in all the diving was great in my view. Ben - one of the Americans was unlucky one day during a dive. The day before he'd been bitten (lightly) by a Muray eel, and was on the outlook for them. I think the group spotted some Mantas so he rested his hand on a ledge and another Muray eel attacked his ...

... Danny Boy jumped in, decended to 5 metres & couldn't find him because the water was all churned up & you could see fcuk all. We gave up after a while & abandoned ...

... out to the deep blue ocean while watching the sun set, and reading a great book, is a unique experience I would conjecture could not be matched elsewhere. In addition, the lull of the boat to sleep is so relaxing I feel I am inside one of those soothing clock radios that lulls you to sleep, or the womb, with perfect wave sounds in addition to a gentle rocking. Oh, and where else can you do a quick swim in shark infested (okay, Andy said 1 per square mile but I saw the movie ...

... The government buildings are elaborate, new, and expensive-looking. Everything they consume must be brought in by boat or air--there isn't any industry or agriculture. Of course, there's fishing. We went by the fish market in the early evening. The fishermen were selling from plastic clothes baskets or the granite tile floor in an open-air building. Some of the fish were still thrashing around. There were almost no local women in sight and I felt unsafe, or maybe I ...

... at the end of the island for a lovely candlelit bbq dinner and some birthday cake. Mike told me about my birthday gift....sailing with my dear friends in the BVIs......I am overwhelmed and thrilled. Wanted to get that out so all of you that know, can now talk about it. It was a special birthday and even more so, with all the cards and messages I received. Thank you so much. Also, a very special Happy Anniversary to Geordie and Ade. We ...

... grammar separately. The focus of environmental science for both of them is Tourism! Jesse is doing a project on tourism in the Maldives. They really start them young given that this is the main economic industry in the country, aside from fishing. The kids are both sick right now. Melissa will stay home from school today and Jesse, we never know. It's 9 a.m., school starts at 11:45 and he's already come to me with a stomach complaint in tears. This will continue ...

... or just relaxing on the beach. To snorkel on the Maldives was one of the best things I did in my life - it was amazing. I saw clownsfish, trigger fish, sharks, "Napoleon", rays and so on. And it was not boring to snorkel the whole day and two weeks. The hotel was nice, we had a bungalow for us. We met nice people from Berlin and we were playing cards with them until late in the night. For me it ...

... not easy for her to leave and I can understand that very good. The spell of Helengeli takes its toll, we don't want to leave this magical island. With the help of Gov, we organise to stay until we have to leave. Yay! We don't have to go back to Meeru! And we are offered the all-inclusive for the hole week - generous. We are two happy girls now. At two o'clock, we ...
