Well many people have been curious about the whereabouts of my next visit - Maldives. (Google Maps, 2016)

Maldives, officially the Republic of Maldives is an island country and archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It lies southwest of India and Sri Lanka in the Laccadive Sea. It is formed by 26 chains of atolls (ring shaped coral reefs). The capital and largest city is Malé - the city consists of a central island, an airport island, and two other islands governed by the Male City Council.

Day 1 - Club Med Kani

We spent day one in Club Med Maldives. Sky is prefect blue and weather is perfect, nonetheless you will see crystal clear water all around you.

Activities all you can do - Swim around the crystal clear coast

Play volleyball :D

Lunchtime!

Tuna steak! There were so many more food, we were so buzy eating, sorry that's all for the food pictures ;)

Sea sailing!

Exploring the sea for corals.

Honestly, I didn't know what I saw. It was just patches of white corals everywhere. And the tide was pretty strong. It's like 20 people staying afloat fighting for their own territory to check out corals.

Time for tea! :D This is a private resort, so many of the facilities might be restricted to those who reside there. But nevertheless there are many other things to do as well.

Free drinks at the bar!

Suntanning, sipping and chilling by the beach

My friend has a sexy hat - his hat is sexy

My sunset is cooler than yours

One...

Two...

... Four

and Five-ever!

Here's an awesome group photo at Club Med!

Time to go on another boat ride!

See you tomorrow!

Day 2 - Embudu Village Maldives

The water here is even more tranquil and you could easily hear the sounds of the waves and watch seagulls flying across the skies.

Haha fins on, masks on and we have our snorkels; here we go snorkeling!

Enough of selfies, now here's some fish pictures

There's alot to see near the shallow waters. The coral reefs are so pretty and they are just inches away from you. But you're not allowed to touch them or pick them up. So grateful that they are still so well preserved and untouched.

After lunch activity is group activity!

Take 99, literally 99 shots on my camera

Too much fun in one evening, and we continued our snorkeling journey to the deeper side of the island.

I wish I would stay here for a longer time, all of these are best seen with your own eyes. Such an amazing experience!

Day 3 - Hulhumale Island and Beach

Today we hung around the airport area, there's a beach not far away from the airport. We decided to explore the area to look for a decent meal.

Sunny day again, it seems like it's always good weather here.

While at the airport, just look for this part of the exit where burger king is located and walk approximately 100m and you will see a bus stand.

And you could zoom in to enlarge, should you wish to take a look at the bus schedule. It costs 30 Maldivian Rupees (2USD) single journey. And you will see a red bus stopping at the bus stop where the locals will get on. Just take the bus to the terminal stop where you will see a beach and there you are!

There's nothing too fancy, just locals and local houses. And occassionally you'll see a boat. My advice, don't waste your time here unless you have nothing better to do. The best Maldivian experience will be at the other islands/atolls/resorts. :)

We got lunch after a long walk at a local (non rip off) restaurant. But things are still pretty pricey. Conversion (Jan 2016) for 1USD is 15MVR. Soup and Rice was approximately 12USD. And here we are at King's Garden Restaurant.

After all, we had a pretty enjoyable stay in Maldives. I think the pictures says pretty much. I hope someday I will return to enjoy the well preserved nature and the great ambience.
