Maldives Island

Enchantment has to offer Maldives. Nature is beautiful with the sea is very clear and blue. First I got an offer project in Maldives, I still do not know where the location of this country, so I look on the internet. It turned out that the Republic of Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean, under Sri Lanka. In 2004, several islands in the Maldives was hit by the tsunami. From Singapore, there are daily flights to the Maldives 08:30 ETD and eta 22:30 (Maldives time 2 hours later than Jakarta, with a flying time of about 4.5 hours). Male Airport, very simple.

Only consists of 2 parts, namely ordinary airport runway and the airport with water for seaplane. The airport is situated on the island Hulule, about 2 km from the capital Jakarta Male.Bila out our airport taxi, so here we have to ride dhonny, motor boat to cross to Male.

After arriving at the new Jetty no taxis, no metered, so drop MRF 15, - (Rufiyaa currency, of which USD 1.00 = 12.75 MRF), that night or any baggage MRF 20, -.

Male city streets are very narrow and a lot of motors, because the island is only about quite small with a population of nearly 150,000 people. The population in the Maldives alone around 300,000 people.

I tried around the island along the coast, only takes about 2 hours, it was with the nyantai streets.

Maldives consists of atoll islands which lie about 800km from north to south. Most consist of the resort, around the 80s, which is managed by international hotel chains such as Hilton, Fourseason and others.

Maldives beach sea view and very beautiful, clear blue sea and a few places we could see the seabed and the fish. For those who like diving, snorkelling, fishing, maybe this is an interesting place. I once asked diving package with a yacht, for a week around USD 1800-USD 3000.00 depending on the type of yacht and service (but I have not been able to bag!)

Food here is much influenced India, such as curry. They used to eat with rotti (like parata, martabak thin) and tuna fish. Tuna fish and big fish are the main food.

Uniquely, they just take the meat. Meanwhile, the bone and its contents discarded. Similarly, chicken, without bones. Only small fish used as bait fishing or maybe in the resort. If anyone could possibly make pempek Kilkenny skin ....

In my job, I've been to the island Villifushi, about 130 NM from Male. I get there by seaplane. It's also an interesting experience in which the aircraft taking off and landing on water. Small aircraft with 15-17 passenger and pilot, co pilot and water attendent very relaxed, they just wear shorts and nyeker (without shoes) or just with sandals.

From the plane, visible group of atolls is very beautiful. The plane landed at the resort area and the aircraft tethered in small pooton. Dhonny and speed boat from the resort will pick up guests.

I myself, speed boat ride again about 2 hours to the island of fishermen and Dhaaru Villifushi. Villifushi is a low island hit by the tsunami in 2004 and is currently being rebuilt as a new permunkinan for the people of Maldives, with funding from the Netherlands and the UN.

Although the weather was very hot, but perfect for fishing. For beginners like me, though home to put fishing line, can get fish for snapper. So, every day I eat fresh fish. But, because it is not good at cooking, most frying aja cuman.

I myself live in Dhaaru, with a population of around 1,500 people, but have a school, Puskemas quite good and clean. Interestingly, the house where I lived under construction. The bathroom was very luxurious, with Bathtube and, jacuzzi.

Well, it turns out the new rich people here affected by the western lifestyle as well. At dinner, we were treated to a rather wet rice, and tuna fish pieces cooked without skin and bones and is only eaten with fresh chilli (chilli round here are small but very spicy) and orange juice. Well, can I swallow too with the help of Coca-cola.

At other times, I went to the northern islands, named Dhuaafaruu, this is also the island that is being rebuilt by the contractor Singapore, ex tsunami. I live on the island Ongoofaaru, about 10-15 minutes by boat motors.

When you ride a boat, fishing boat crew will be pulled out with feathers all the way and can get 3-5 fish of 20-30 cm. Easy, right?

When going back from here, I have difficulty in meeting places in the seaplane, because they give priority to the tourist. Meanwhile, a very expensive speed boat ride. Finally, I ride dhonny with a small engine with a travel time of about about 12 hours.

Well, the scary is that, once separated from the atoll, look no further islands and mobile phones also no signal. The visible, is just blue water and occasionally dolphins appear beside the boat

The crew of the ship while the ship went up briefly to see whether there was a visible island. Just a small navigation tool compass heading south. Finally, we arrived at Male.Leganya hearts.

Truly, an experience menarik.Untung, then April. Because, if May or June, big waves and can reach 2-4 meters. Definitely, I will not have the courage to sail with a traditional boat.

Ok, while it had a bit of Maldives. Next time I will be a story about the lives of the Maldives and so forth.
