Day 2. We have no agenda to follow so the day is ours. Missed breakfast as we slept in. We then explored the hut. Well its not really a hut but it is an ocean villa on stilts!!! We cannot describe this using words but we have found paradise. Take a look at the pictures on the inside and views from the deck. ... read more

The diving in Maldives was fabulous. I loved taking underwater photos. After the third day of diving I gave up trying to use my strobes and just used the camera and available light. My photos were pretty good. Some of the reefs look good, lots of different corals with interesting shapes and colors. But there is a lot of rubble on many reefs, which is good substrate for growth of new corals, but not so pretty in photos. Fish abounded on all dives, except the first dive today. We went to a beautiful reef with overhangs, current and deep water, perfect conditions but we were skunked for the first time…no sharks, rays, or schools of large fish. Every day we did two dives a day, in the morning except for Friday which is the Muslim holy ... read more

I woke up and looked at my clock…quarter to eight and I was supposed to be at the airport at eight! Where was the wake-up call I had requested? I was the only guest downstairs and something in the kitchen was smelling very good. I asked the young man about the wake-up call and he pointed to the clock. Oh, I hadn’t set my clock to Maldives time…it was only ten to seven. Right on time the driver showed up and we went to the Male airport, only fifteen minutes from my hotel. I was to meet the resort representative in front of the food court and he was going to get my ticket for the seaplane and put me on it. It went like clockwork. The flight was great fun. After twenty minutes we got ... read more

Almost, as Male’ has a nearly rectangular shape. In has only two kilometres long by just over one wide, housing a hundred and fifty thousand people, roughly half the population of the Republic of Maldives, which is capital. In fact much of its surface area is land reclaimed from the sea. But there is no more to gain as the ancient reef is completely exhausted: imported land, buildings, streets and people. Male' is spreading on nearby islands. Villingili welcomes a new development and its becoming the fashionable fifth district of the city. The international airport is in neighbouring Hulhule where it seems that airplanes lands on the foam of the waves. The waste is deposited in Hulhumalé while those fed the bases of a new island. Funadhoo supports oil reservoirs to feed the traffic rolling on ... read more

Goodbye.... It is with a sad heart that I write my final blog (for now anyway...) from Hudhuran Fushi in the beautiful Maldives... I don't know where the past couple of months have gone - it's flown by and tomorrow I return to the UK... at least one dress size smaller (without Gym useage...) and a with a subtle golden tan... until I hit the beach later and turn into a human lobster... I would like to give massive thanks to all my friends who have read, commented and supported me with my blogs - writing them has kept me sane and nearly prevented me (but not quite) from getting island fever!!! There have been many highs and a few lows along the way but I have survived - at times I felt like I was ... read more

Good morning to you all from the beautiful sunny Maldives... I'm hoping everyone has fully recovered from the festive excesses...? And that noboby is feeling the January blues... I've had quite a bit going on work wise (for a change) and never quite seemed to have the time to give you all an update - at the start of January I was ill for a few days... mainly just a fever but it knocked me off my feet for a bit so I was pleased when I got over that and could start to enjoy island life again. Talking of enjoying island life... I cannot believe I am only here for another two weeks!!! My little stint in paradise has gone way too quickly... and to think I didn't think I would like being on a ... read more

Me, I partied till about 4am... would you really expect anything less...? It was a fanastic beach party and definitely worth the lack of sleep... I really do believe now that sunloungers were invented for the morning after the night before :-) Only one other thing to tell you all... Capt.Morgan and I have parted company for the forseeable future - we're still mates so a reunion could take place... but for now - he's back on the shelf!

And peaceful, and spiritual (of the Cptn.Morgan type...), and FUN! I've had a great week apart from a couple of falling down incidents - read on to find out what/who fell where/when... And it's a bit of a long blog too, there's been a lot going on... The island has been a non stop party zone since Christmas Eve with some people getting into it more than others... why on earth do people come on holiday to somewhere as fantastic as the Maldives to be miserable - it's beyond me, anyway here at party central we had ... read more
