Paradise.......

The title says it all really crystal clear emerald water, powder white sand and beautiful blue sky's, welcome to the Maldives. We got checked in ok and the beach villa is to die for all you can see from the bed is blue sky and ocean, it's heaven. We've been here a few days now and we are loving it. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. It's extremely hot so being able to dip
In the ocean is a god send. Been snorkelling in the afternoon whe the temperature drops a little and the marine life is spectacular. Wish I new what all the fish were but they range from tiny to bloody huge and every colour you can think off, will have to look them up later. Advice to anyone coming to the Maldives, but a water proof camera, wish I had. All the marine life are just an arms length away. We even had one little brave fish swimming around our heads and through our legs as we sat in the ocean watching an heron fish from the rocks about 3 meters from us. The wildlife count so far is quite impressive.
Elephants (Sri Lanka)
Monkeys (Sri Lanka)
Land Monitor (side of the pool Sri Lanka)
Three striped palm squirrel (Sri Lanka)
Hermit crabs
Baby sharks (reef I think)
Rays
Eels
Fruit Bats
Gecko
Numerous fish big and little
Heron
Rats (yes even rats)
Bees (with wings as big as birds..eeek!!!)

This is truly a magnificent part of the world and everyone should visit at least once. Right going to sign off now until the departure day and enjoy paradise and this Internet is costing me $15 dollars for 2 hours, Remoteness has its price I guess.
