Maldives Day 2-AI

30th June 15, Tue

We woke up at our usual 7am Singapore time which is only 530am local time.

Walked out to explore and the beach is just 10 steps away. It was so quiet and peaceful.

The ferry terminal






The bird below is the Maldivian water hen which we later learned from the chef. It kept coming for food so that it can bring it back to feed its chick who is always behind her hiding in the bushes.


Sunrise 

Rested for a while and set off for breakfast around 8am.


The spa which was still closed obviously.

There was one table other than ourselves. It was super low peak and we hardly saw other guests around. 

The fruits station, the chef will make fresh fruit juice for you daily.


 
We took the outdoor seats.






Took this to remind us of the opening hours 

We explored the island, it's a really small island and we were blown away by the waters!






The dive centre-we went to the snorkeling briefing at 1030am. There were just the both of us lol.

It was conducted by a French guy, Nico who was quite a nice guy. Took the gears and went back for snorkeling. Their gears are of good quality unlike those you get at Phuket. One of the reasons why we chose AI was it has the best snorkeling reef at North Male Atoll.


The bar in day time. Yesterday, everything was pitch dark when we arrived.


The spa which is opened now. 


Took some pictures of our villa






They have an open air shower and I was quite paranoid because I read in the forum someone was bathing and saw a worker cutting coconuts. I keep checking to see there is no one up in the trees when it's shower time.


Housekeeping ;-)

Snorkeling time! We snorkelled at the waters in front of the bar.


Mr K bought a waterproof pouch to keep his hp so that he can take photos underwater.




Taking a break
