Maldives: Slice of Paradise

Maldives is a slice of paradise. Nature is beautiful with a very clear sea and blue. My first project was offered in the Maldives, I still do not know where the location of this country, so I was looking on the internet. It turned out that the Republic of Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean, under Sri Lanka. In 2004, several islands in the Maldives was hit by the tsunami. From Singapore, there are flights to the Maldives every day etd eta 08:30 and 22:30 (Maldives time 2 hours later than Jakarta, with a flying time of about 4.5 hours). Male Airport, very simple.

Only consists of 2 parts of ordinary airport runway and the airport with water for seaplane. Airport is located on the island Hulule, about 2 km from the capital city of Jakarta Male.Bila out our airport taxi ride, so here we must take dhonny, motor boat to cross into Male.

After arriving at the new Jetty no taxi, no meter, so the drop MRF 15, - (Rufiyaa currency, which EUR 1.00 = 12.75 MRF), at night or no baggage MRF 20, -.

The streets of Male is very narrow and many of the motor, since this island is only about quite small with a population of nearly 150,000 people. Population in the Maldives alone around 300,000 people.

I tried around the island along the coast, only takes about 2 hours, it was with the roads that relax.

Maldives consists of atoll islands stretching about 800km from north to south. Some consist of the resort, about 80-an, which is managed by international hotel chains such as Hilton, Fourseason and others.

View of the sea and the Maldives are beautiful beaches, clear blue sea and a few fishing, maybe this is an interesting place. I once asked a yacht diving packages, for a week around USD 1800-USD 3000.00 depending on the type yacht and service (but I have not been able to bag!)
