After
taking our breakfast, we immediately set out to the Water Sports Centre. We were
a bit late in our snorkeling lesson but there were also other couples who came late,
so we have to wait for them. We were four couples in total.

Snorkeling near the deep sea |
I learned
a lot during our snorkeling lesson, I thought that it would be boring but it
turned out to be a fun experience. Initially, I was worried that I don’t know
how to use the equipment. I am still inhaling and exhaling through my nose
which should not be, I should breathe using my mouth. It takes a while before I
was able to do that.
We were
able to see coral reefs and different kinds of fishes. I think an hour of
snorkeling lesson is enough and you can get the feel of it. If you want to
experience the deep water snorkeling they also offer this kind of package.
This is
the first time that I was able to swim in the white sand and it is soooo
amazingly beautiful (yesterday we didn’t swim in the beach). I didn’t notice
the white fishes swimming near us until I wear my snorkeling goggles because of
the white sand. The water is crystal clear that you can see almost anything in
the water. The sea water was not salty and not irritating in the skin, even if
we swim at almost noon time, the water feels nice.
Aside
from Canoe rent and snorkeling lessons, there are other water sports and
excursion programs that are available for you to enjoy your vacation, so you might

After
swimming for a while, we head out to our room to arrange our things. The speed
boat will pick us up at 12:30pm so we have to be ready for check out. Upon
checking out, they calculated all the bills we incurred during our stay.
Another good thing about our stay is that we don’t need to carry cash because
it will all be charged upon checked out. They just ask our room number and sign
a receipt to confirm that we did the purchase.
While
waiting for the final bill, we looked at the resort’s souvenir shop to buy some
things to remind us of Maldives. I thought that their price was high until we reached the
duty free, which triples the price. So it is better to buy in the island’s
souvenir shop than purchase in duty free, although the choices are limited and
the designs are average, but the prices are cheaper. Anyway, it all depends on
your budget.
We reached the airport on time. The airport was small and there is limited
choices in the duty free mostly souvenir items, the only available outlet there
is Burger King (fast food chain), The Coffee Club (coffee shop) and Dairy Queen
(ice cream store), just enough for a stop over place.
Overall, we had a wonderful time
with my husband. We enjoyed the place and its beauty. I hope that you could also visit this lovely place. My husband also told
me while watching and listening to the sound of the waves, that the work of the Lord is magnificent; He
makes simple things extraordinarily beautiful.
God bless us more J
P.S. please note that the activities and prices
mentioned here were available/ applicable at the time of posting this blog, it
may vary when you visit the place, however, you can make this price as a
guideline.

his hands.” – Psalm 19:1
