Maldives Market

I didn’t have a banana with me for scale, but as you can see, the market in Male, Maldives had no shortage of bananas for sale.

The market booth vendors were friendly and happy to explain what various things were, such as betel leaves, betel nuts, pine fruit, curry leaves, and pandan leaves.

We tried samples of coconut honey candy, but my big thrill was drinking a fresh coconut. What a thrill!

I forget what the local language is in the Maldives, but the script is very pretty, don’t you think?

As for the stray cat, she instantly knew that I’m a cat person. As we passed by, it was all I could do not to sneak her back onto the ship with me!もっと詳しく
