Maldives (23-27Sep11)

This is the ultimate back-dated post ever! Went Maldives for the first time last year and took too many photos that I developed a huge resistance to do up a post, because sifting through hundreds of photos is really a pain. It is only today that I amassed the courage to finally do it.

What can I say.. I love Maldives. I'm in love with Maldives. Maldives loves me. Ha ha...

This is the land of paradise. Do, think, worry nothing. Just let yourself go and free your mind.

We took the all-inclusive package at Constance Moofushi Resort : 3 buffet meals a day, unlimited wine (they have >90 types and I think we managed about 15 only), free poolside bar, cocktails, and in-room minibar. They even threw in unlimited cigarettes! I'm sure they were many other benefits. Paid about US$700 a night including the seaplane transfer. We got a really good promotion that time and thought the price was super worth it. Normally it should be >US$1000 a night I think. For maximum experience, try to stay at the water villa..at least for a couple of nights.

We snorkeled a bit as well. Had our own snorkeling gear which was very convenient. Oh yes we had a kiddish dive too. Not worth it! Went for the free excursion on a dhoni boat to chase dolphins and stingrays. They are very evasive. We caught a few glimpses but the boat was too rocky for comfort.

Enjoy the photos...
