Welcome to Paradise

I was honestly not really a fan of the idea to travel to the Maldives. Seb has been there before with his family and was happy to be able to go there again. He convinced me that it would be good, having a more chill holiday. I'm usually not the type for chilling when I'm travelling, but hey, you have to broaden your horizon, don't you? After flying 6 hours we had a transit time of 4 hours in Abu Dhabi. I've drunken the best hazelnut cocoa ever and was quite pleased but happy to enter our next plane. After another 4 hours, we've landed on Male, the main island of the Maldives. We waited for our transfer boat to Embudu (where our hotel would be) and were greeted by a couple of dolphins right away. Good start! We've arrived very early and so our bungalow wasn't ready yet, so we had to wait at the bar. We were so tired that both of us fell asleep during our two-hour wait and were woken up by the nice bar men and a coffee. After putting away our luggage, we immediately took off to explore our little island. After about 20 min we completed one trip around the island and stated that our bungalow was at the perfect spot. Not too far away from the restaurant or bar, having a private entrance to the beach and a roof of palm trees. Our first sunset was fantastic and our sundowner was enjoyed at the lovely atmospheric bar.Read more
