Lagoon Suite..
Offering a panoramic view of the Indian ocean. Each private suite has a terrace and you can go snorkeling right from your own doorstep! Morning... Maldives..
around 10 in the morning I woke up.. slept so good...and forgot where I was.. oh yes.. Maldives trip.. Club Med - Kani, Male Atoll, Kanifinolhu... reading brochure on the table.. still not fully wake up.. so excited how the outside look like.. open curtain watchin beach through out window... oh.. so nice couldn't wait to go out and had a look .. so I go shower..
After spending an hour showering, washing my hair, pampering myself.. then I was ready to drag my ass out to say hello to the beach.
Walking out from my room notice the sun is quite strong but the sunlight's not buring my skin maybe because of suntan oil I put on.. The sky is so blue and very beautiful just like in the postcard. Taking picture here is quite easy I think coz everything's so beautiful by it own, amateur lousy photographer like me can take beatiful pic for sure, but still need good camera anyway...
Only few walks from my room to the beach .. and all I can say is "WOW" it's just like island in my dream... Blue of blue sky... white clouds.. turquoise
crystal clear water.. white finest sand beach.. green of teenage coconut palms all match in good combination...
Nearby is colorful watersports center, watersports equipment and tutoring is free, sailing, windsurfing, Kayaking, beach valleyball..etc. then restaurant which was closed.. and activity board which clubmed provide for daily activity schedule. Also I've noticed that local people here are very friendly.. hi, hello, big smile.. being friendly just like Thais do.. it's so nice..
I headed out to walk along beach again.. finally found a perfect beach chair under palm tree with a nice beach in front of me with no seaweed... walking bare foot... feeling sand on my feet mm it's nice feeling.. walking down in the sea it's quite warm... then I had a nap for awhile..
Woke up again hungry.. so I walked back to my room, found out Joe still in bed.. then I made myself a cup of coffee then sitting at balcony in front of room.. suddenly there's an old guy walking toward my room, just like an ordinary old man, blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned skin and he stayed next door... he said "combanwa" to me.. I said "hello and I'm not Japanese"
with his surprise look so I let him guess where I'm from.. Hongkong, Korean, China, and Thailand is the last guess... No wonder why he thought I'm Japanese since I found many Japanese people along the way back to my room... The man also told me that he'd stay here for almost a month and he went to scuba diving every day, he also told me about snorkling schedule which clubmed provide for free 2 times a day... morning 9:30 and 14:00 in the afternoon... Wow.. so I decided that'd be my tomorrow plan.
After finished talking to old man, found out Joe finished his shower.. wow he spent longer time pampering himself with his cosmetics more than I do.... anyway then I told him about my brief survey on the island and the old man next door.. finally we headed out together and finally I had someone taking my picture hahaha..
Walking to water bangalows rooms which called Lagoon Suites, so Joe and I decided to take pictures here for awhile...
Almost an hour taking picture then getting so sterving, we both walking to restaurant, and waiting for about 15 mins till it open... and wow...
international cuisine buffet... great.. Japanese, Fench, Italian, Korean cuisine, etc. salad, cheese, beef, fruit juice, ohhhh so full.. between Morocco food not really look good so I didn't try...
Totally full after finish lunch.. so sleepy but still want to be by the beach.. Joe felt sleepy again and wanted to get back to room and sleep.. eh? didn't he just wake up? ahh.. anyway.. walked back to room, Joe went to sleep, I walked out to the beach sat by beach chair nearby watersports center... very nice view here.. everything's so good.. so relaxing here and had a nap...
Woke up late afternoon, found myself on beach chair, the view's so great.. couldn't resist taking more pic of beach view.. sparking reflection in the sea with blue sky so nice... suddenly I felt something moving on the sand nearby me.. I had a quick look eh? nothing... I didn't realize till it start moving again.. it was a crab... walking on the sand nearby.. so cute >_<
Taking picture of the crab is not easy.. difficult to focus.. setting the camera in Macro mode, laying on the ground.. the crab's hiding... oi... had to bee extra
careful not to make the crab scare.. laying still on the beach without having beach towel on the ground... it hurts >_< but yes finally the crab came out... shooting photo as quick as possible the crab look so scare trying to ran away.. checking in display pic it's quite funny with the look of the crab.. I thought if I were crab I'd think that this gal gonna eat me hahaha...
Ok enough for the crab, after taking few pics then felt like a choco donute coated with peanuts ... full of sand... I cleaned up myself and waked to the room... Joe still in bed can't believe he's here to sleep I wonder.. anyway.. I was a bit tired too so after I had some water I had a nap again...
Woke up again.. didn't know what time but just wash my face and hurry to go out to see sunset... Walking along the path to the island port.. surrounded with beautiful view of perfect sunset.. very nice ... would be a perfect moment for lovers... well no wonder why most of the guests here are honeymoon lovers.. Joe and I felt like we were in
my perfect day...
cool breeze, crystal clear water, blue sky, warm sunlight, white sand beach, under shadow of palm trees, what you want more? the wrong place so we went back to our room.. shower and get ready for dinner...
We was waiting at tour center nearby restaurant.. noticed many asians waiting there too for us as Thai people, here it's 2 hours behind Bangkok so it's quite late for us to have dinner, restuarant open at 7.45 pm I guess so we had to wait till 9.45 pm thai time if I calculate it right. I guess Japanese would be worst.. coz 2 hours before bangkok.. If I'm correct about this again.. checking the chef bring huge tuna fish on the table, decorated to make sushi.. uh.. I'll get that tuna for sure..
So when the restaurant open so many asains rush in to get food.. same as Joe and Me.. speechless we walked in to get sushi right away... then we walked to get table and separately get own food. Dinner's great.. had a bottle of red wine for myself.. really nice.. so many food.. and so full.. During the dinner we just noticed people dress too good... long evening dress for women.. so I told Joe to have a look... I didn't bring many clothes myself.. just few shorts,
Sitting on beach chair nearby watersports center
So bad the pic quite blur coz I took it from mobile phone.. but background still nice... skirt, toptank and bikini that's it.. anyway it's nice to look at other women fashion of their own country.. then again start talking about what we eat.. Joe said we had to burn out the FAT.. we ate too much.. I felt the same too since previously join too many parties and drank beer a lot.. gotta get rid of my beer gut soon...
After finish dinner, the club med staffs arranged some entertainment, we went to join and realized that many french staffs and hardly understand their english... since my english is not my native language so it's even worst for me to understand them.. anyway the jokes was quite funny.. after that there's a bar nearby.. we went to have a look.. of course not many people here.. coz no single people like me and Joe.. except the club med staffs.. Oh music is so bad.. we couldn't stand there too long... just get water and get back to our room and watch TV..
