Wow

This place is amazing, I don’t think you can come much closer to paradise! We’ve been in the Maldives for almost a week now and we are thoroughly enjoying ourselves. We arrived here last Saturday morning after quite a long flight from home. When we landed in Male, the capital of the Maldives, we waited for about an hour before we hopped on a sea plane that was going to take us to Kuredu island where we had booked a beach bungalow for two weeks. Going by a sea plane was really cool and you could see the multiple islands from the sky, it was beautiful. We were greeted with smiles and a welcome drink, then we were shown our bungalow. It is right on the beach and has got everything you need. The bathroom and shower is outdoors on the back of the bungalow ☺

You can’t really complain about anything here; the white sand, the beach, the sea, the friendly people, the lovely food and the beautiful wheather is exactly what we have been dreaming of. On Tuesday night we decided to book an à la carte restaurant called the Beach where we both had lobster on the beach. Unfortunately it started raining that evening so we had to sit under the roof for the rest of the night but it was still an experience I for sure will remember. Fredrik has also gone for a couple of dives and when he went for his ”tune up” dive earlier this week he was lucky to see a huge turtle ☺ Yesterday he went for a longer dive while I was staying at the bungalow and he saw a big variety of fish. Today we had some visitors in the water near our bungalow, we saw a black tip shark and two sting rays!

On Saturday we’re going to a smaller island called Komandoo, we got a free upgrade (sometimes you’re lucky ;)) to a jacuzzi beach villa! We’re staying there for our second week and we’re really looking forward to it. It’s a smaller island, I think it is only about 5-10 mins walk around, compared to a 40 min walk where we are now. But it’s supposed to be really romantic and beautiful there as well. Before we’re heading off to Komandoo we’re gonna go for a snorkelling trip tomorrow morning and also a sunset cruise in the evening where we hope to take some pics of the sunset and get sight of the dolphins around. I can’t say anything bad about this trip, we’re enjoying every minute of being in paradise!
