    The Maldives

    March 12 on the Maldives ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

    We tendered to shore in the Maldives capital of Male and jumped in a little speedboat for a fast ride to our beach day excursion.
    Then we spent the next 7 hours at a lovely beach resort island in the archipelago of The Maldives.
    The Maldives is one of the most dramatic examples of an archipelago with 1,190 islands, 200 are inhabited. We spent the day at one of the 160 resort islands, the 5 star Taj Erotica.
    We enjoyed calm, clear, warm water, soft sand, a most tasty buffet lunch served on the beach, cold Kingfisher beers and Sprites and quiet. It was so quiet. And most lovely. Today was everything a dreamy beach day should be.    Read more
