Maldives

As previously explained, we had to leave the country to get our visas renewed. It was just easier this way. Although more expensive.

Since I am behind in my blogging I am just going to flood you with photos and captions.

On the ferry from the airport to the main island/capital city of Male

View from the ferry

Krista being a babe on beach of hulahulemale. Its the artificial islnd where our hotel is. Since the Maldives are 99% water and the highest point is 2.4 meters above sea level they decided to build an artificial island to house the people who will be displaced as sea levels rise

view out towards the ocean. Postcard.

The other side of paradise

This was the common sight on the island. Brand new hotel or apartment or government building next to a construction site.

The Maldives are Muslim 100%. And conservative.

Skim boarding is alive and well here with the locals.

Exciting buildings in the capital

Male the capital at night

The best thing about Muslim countries for me is the delicious Tandoori!

 

Leaving Male behind by day

Can you see the baby shark?

Bye Bye Maldives
