Male, MALDIVES.

Saturday, 23rd January.

Forecast, Sunny 31 degrees

The Maldives are renowned for their beaches and coral reefs. Ironically, there are no beaches on Male itself - the island is bordered by a seawall. The island is entirely covered in high-rise  buildings.

We did a Princess tour today to a resort island called Bandos Island, so we could snorkel. The resort looked wonderful and the beach was lovely. We could see the reef area not far off shore and the water was clear and calm.

We spent a wonderful 3 hours here with at least 2 of them in the water. The pictures will tell the story better than any words I could type.


I am typing this while we are confined to our rooms for a Pirate Drill.
