The Maldives was long a sultanate, first under Dutch and then under British protection. It became a republic in 1968, three years after independence. Since 1978, President Maumoon Abdul GAYOOM - currently in his sixth term in office - has dominated the islands' political scene. Following riots in the capital Male in August 2004, the president and his government have pledged to embark upon democratic reforms, including a more representative political system and expanded political freedoms. Tourism and fishing are being developed on the archipelago. To be updated

Ahhhh, this is the life.... Asia » Maldives

I was in Hong Kong for a brief couple of days (not much there to report except that I had slept and watched TV the whole time) and I am now in the Maldives with family. Where do I begin? I'm on a bright sunny beach, the temperature is around 25 degrees Centigrade and we have crystal clear waters. This is the life.....! I've spent virtually everyday either paddling about in the surrounding waters or sunbathing (and in the process got burnt!). Also went night fishing and snorkelling (where I went on to lose two snorkels and a pair of goggles [View Full Entry]

The view from our doorstep.

Maldives. During the election week the office was closed, and we were encouraged to get out of Galle. We were lucky enough to head to the Maldives for a few days with one of Murrays workmates. We stayed on Giravaru Island, a very beautiful island, small enough to walk around in 10 minutes. 5 steps from our door was the beautifully clear inviting ocean. We enjoyed snorkeling with many beautiful fish, and the boys even swam with some turtles. All in all, a very relaxing and enjoyable time (despite the occasional rain). [View Full Entry]

In a word, WOW! This is paradise from start to finish. Even before we arrived looking out of the window was spectacular, the colours of the sky, ocean and the coral atolls were just calling out, "swim in me, swim in me, partake of my piscean goods". We got picked up from the airport in an air conditioned speed boat that seemed more suited to high speed pursuit of game fish rather than ferrying passengers to Bandos Island about 15 minutes away. The Maldives for those that don't know is around 1200 islands of varying size, of those about 200 are [View Full Entry]

Round-the-world 1: Maldives Asia » Maldives

Sun, Sea, Diving. Who could ask for more?! I had the most amazing transfer from Malé by water plane over the atolls to Ari Beach! Despite the stiffling heat in the air-taxi doubling as an oven, I was more concerned with getting some otherworldly photos from the heights through the thick condensation spattled lense-like openings otherwise known as windows!! I was quite happy until I heard that their safety record was questionable! [View Full Entry]
