scooby_doo_do Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thought i'd be bored, but i really enjoyed it. Went snorkelling pretty much every day and even tried my hand at scuba diving. All great fun. The weather was a little bit poor as it rained pretty much for 4 of the 7 days, but it came an went so quickly. Food was great, although after a week i was bored of buffet's, lol. The only bad thing we saw was that there were two lads who had been drinking all day and decided to go snorkelling without fins later in the day. The weather turned and it started to rain, both got in a little trouble and one of them pulled the other out, as he went under. He pulled him onto the beach just outside our villa with no signs of life. They gave him CPR and eventually he came back and started breathing- off to the hospital for him for a few days, but he's ok. Saw quite a few fish, most of which i have no idea about. The lion fish was quite cool, but then we found out it was also quite bad if it stings you - so avoided. Well, here's some pics i've done :-) Enjoy,,, http://www.tripkings.co.uk/maldives/ right, i'm off to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Awesome, I'd love to go there. I got married in Antigua and asked the tour operator if we could cruise over to the maldives and stay there for the second week. Shows how bad my geography is! Always fancied the chalets on stilts where you can feed the fish under your dinner table. Must go there one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Always fancied the chalets on stilts where you can feed the fish under your dinner table. Must go there one day. They would have been quite cool too, but they would have been considerably more expensive for us (an extra £700 for the week!), and I think I preferred being right on the beach front anyway.
