I would like to become a multicolored fish--rita tour Maldives Liushuizhang

Before just consider playing abroad with MOM, see a lot of relevant information, preliminary decision to go to Bali, result in the occasional opportunity seen peers had just been to the month of April in Maldives photos, all of a sudden not resist the temptation, we move the heart decide to go there to look at, because it is too beautiful.

Coupled with the previously seen friends from the wonderful photographs of the Maldives, echocardiography action, since it has been decided to go, began a series of preparatory activities.

To prepare for it is a lot of things, where to start, of course, is to find relevant information on the site, so check to see a lot of Web site information, found a relatively good website: www.maldivestogo.com.tw is a Taiwan's Web site, are the views of his own travels lvyoumen, or objective, it is also useful.

The other is ctrip (http://www.ctrip.com/community/itinerarywri/itinerarywri.asp) travels, or worthy of reference. See a lot of information, start some clue. Maldives and regular tourist destinations not the same place: it consists of many independent small islands, each island is a hotel, select your suitable Hotel more important, I refer to a lot of information intended to call Veligandu Island, results due to catch in 7 months (since August, all prices are to increase the price), so just do not have any vacancies, then finally went to a Club Rannalhi (blue na Li hotel) Island, from the male ' airport take ferry to 45 minutes or so, that's a relatively small island, the island facilities relatively simple, no swimming pool, but the room is clean and due to the island has a lot of Italy, they also have established specialized there what Club, Italy for local service, Chef is Italy, so the diet is the Italian dishes, the taste is very good. The hotel first, a little more detail here.

Go back and talk about preparing, I travel to help me out in tours packages, so-called package is the package ticket, visa fees, hotel accommodations, round trip airport transfer (Maldives), stay for 3 buffet.

Here to explain the visa, the Maldives is landing check because it is too small, and is one of the island, if every country there were then estimated that the island had no place to go, so is landing check. But when the Chinese customs must have a visa, so you will need to have a visa to go to the Maldives generally sits what Airlines is check which country visa, I fixed the aircraft to sililankahangkonggongsi in Sri Lanka, Colombo, so check that Sri Lanka.

Said to go to the Maldives, there are three routes, you can sit on Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, aircraft, and, of course, sililankahangkonggongsi spend money also is appropriate from expensive to cheap, this sat, flight departure, is the Airbus aircraft, each seat has a TV to watch (English movie basically have Chinese subtitles), music can be heard (Chinese pop music), there are video games you can play.

A way to not feel bored, but put films were relatively new films. Departure time is 2 pm, go to Colombo on the way to stay in Bangkok for one hour, one hour is not the plane, to the need to change planes in Colombo, essentially for two hours, the convergence of quite compact. And the Maldives than Beijing night for three hours, so that in fact at a comparative advantage in when I feel when it is 1 am local time (actual Beijing has four-point), so I didn't feel that long time before special. However when comparing backhaul pain, local time, 22 points on the aircraft, with the time difference in Beijing are already 13: 30, feel like sitting on a day of aircraft, feel particularly tired. And backhaul in Colombo on a lot of locals go to Bangkok, so the flight on the taste is very strange, their taste is very heavy, and likes to taste very cheap perfume, dense and smell bad, people are really some unbearable. So on this point, I think it might take another airline's aircraft will be better. Other to nothing, after all, from an economic perspective is quite so attractive. Can save more money going to the Maldives enjoyed better?!

Prepare articles

The place to carefully explain the preparation before the trip.

You need to prepare something delicate, one by one as follows:

1, Bikini, beauty Lady must prepare one of the items.

How are the best prepared several sets, where you never mean your film or memory card. Man, I love how to wear it as clothing.

2, sunscreen.

Too important, but also to use power SPF30 or 30 +, and PA +++, the other must be waterproof. I used oupolai and Shiseido, two are good, that kind of liquids, and use it every time you shake, waterproofing effect is very good. Also used the tanning oupolai restoration point honey, the effect is very good. Say Sun protection is very important, is my own blood lessons, since the first day of serious smear taken good sunscreen effect, the second day, guard, not in the chest and back, arm because particular smudges better coating, coating is very thick, so at the end of the day, chest and back are mild sunburn, arms and other parts of something, chest and shoulders until returning to Beijing also skin and burned his, but a red Indian Child, 3, 4 days have started peeling, estimates a week later to slightly better, harm me these days do not dare to wear the clothes of dew neck. It is depressing.

3, cameras, video cameras, and so on related accessories.

In addition there is possible to buy a spare camera underwater one-time is also acceptable. I was at Colombo airport duty-free shop-bought, 12 dollars, it is also acceptable.

4. power conversion head.

Each hotel is different, the u.s., there is English, it is important to let the travel agency or your own and wineShop confirm clear. Or you want to charge it every time you get in trouble. But conversion head do not buy in small places, best or go to the big shopping centre, in the case of quality fire apparatus would be no value, I bought in blue Island, a 10 Yuan, good quality.

5, water, mosquito repellent.

This time I go to the hotel is equipped with mosquito, so their belt of useless, but in case you want to go no more trouble, especially those strokes and mosquitoes. But do not know why, we basically have nothing on the island of mosquitoes, anyway I basically had no on the island are bites. But the next day to the uninhabited island on mosquito repellent, then water will come in handy.

6, water.

Some people with water some disdain, feel shame, but I personally think that the real benefit is the most important, so it's best to bring some water, we have four bottles of water 2ml. Rigid suitcase packed with shipping, no problem. Because of its own with the water, remember to uninhabited island excursion day at noon, the province has 19 $ for Coca-Cola! scary, if want to flush slave, and to ask the price, or you just like the rest of the day peer drinking my most expensive Coke: 19 $!

7, toiletries, and so they do not say, be sure to bring a, there only provides simple glass, SOAP and other'd own band is better.

8, snorkeling gear, if it may be best to buy a big dive lens, a breathing tube, a fork of the foot.

The domestic many specialty sporting goods stores have sold, 300-400 element set is pretty good. There are rental, but it is not worthwhile, but also public not sanitary. In addition, can't swim by one or two of the best swimming laps, especially the elderly, children, because water is very shallow, so will they play very good, if there is a swimming laps will be more at ease.

9, flashlight.

So you'd better take one. In the evening you can walk to the sea.

10, band-aid, cold medicine, white flower oil (or essential balm(20G) can), and the runs of the drug, treatment of sunburn ointment.

11, you can buy a pair of cheapest white shoes (that is, we used to wear) or with a pair of don't want to wear the shoes of the old Department of scallops, since Maldives beach is not so flat, water is full of dead coral, a foot.

12, by air cushion around the neck pillow u-gas.

Supermarket wholesale market has sold $ 10 a, be sure to keep a, fly too long neck will not stand.

13, English.

This point is self-tour required because people can communicate in English, if you do not understand English, recommended or not to participate in tours, otherwise it would be more painful. But it is not to say that you must to fluently, as long as simple exchanges, it no travel anterior buy this surprise me basically tourism English is no problem.

14, clothing: you can take more nice light clothes, this camera look good, but not heavy.

There are perennial 25-30 degree temperatures, but not humid, so it is quite comfortable. It is best to bring a long trousers, because one is sitting in the plane of air conditioning was very cold, the other is if you want to go to the Maldives Malé visitors play, or to wear conservative, they believe in Islam, was not wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

15, the exchange of money.

To this we also count with a point of light, the Renminbi value-added Exchange 2 days before the official publication of the Renminbi, on people in terms of going abroad is a good news. But considering there was nothing to shopping, so just for 300-us, before all other expenses, in addition to the activities on the island, is nothing special needs to spend money. Get a visa to go to the nearby commercial bank or the Bank of China to go through, remember to bring passport and ID card.

Tip: prepare 16, about 20 dollar zero banknotes in the body, so tipping when convenient.

As a waiter in a local restaurant is a tip for a living, so the appropriate tip is necessary. In General, to clean the room $ 1 health day, when you go out on a pillow on it; dinner is a fixed service for you, and US $ 1 a day, we are basically every time after dinner. And then the bellboy, since the island is sandy (even the foreground is the sand), are relying on the bellboy help with luggage, they have a special car. Handling a to 1 USD, in fact, a tip is not forced to give, but if someone paid labour should give, but if he is really well or not worth you paid him a tip, don't give it is no problem. But I personally feel like if you gave, the other must be the attitude is very good. In fact, no harm to yourself.

Now talk about our activities over the past few days, this time is 5, 3-night tour, is actually two days on the road, 3 days on the island.

Landing pages:

Our aircraft parked in male ' airport, that is, in fact, male ' airport is not the main island, male ' but left the male is very near a small island, the door is also very simple, the visa officer friendly quickly looked at and then release the chapter.

Out of the airport, I saw the person holding the hotel logo to meet, so it is very easy to join up (before being ordered, since Maldives life of idleness may not cite particular brand, but the airport has all the hotel registration desk, so it's a good thing. But actually it was lift brands, let me some accidents). Because there are other few guests, we had to wait a little, then together aboard the ship. Pier just outside the airport, very close, but the water is clear, as if the tap water was incredible. Our boat, and can feel the speedboat, still relatively strong. Departure for 5 minutes and the boat moving slowly, I think this is the speed, as a result, not all of a sudden come later speed up feeling boat is on the water, but still very stable, not imagined so afraid. The sea is at night without lights, dark. But as the Moon was lit up a largeTablet surface. They say that in the month of may, the star of dilute here seems to be a failed. The air hanging banla Moon, brightness is not inferior to that of a half moon lit side. Then look at the sky, the sky of stars, like reach out to her, it's just too beautiful.

Sea breeze blows to the face is also very comfortable, close your eyes and let the wind blowing.

After almost 40 minutes, finally arrived.

The first day on the island — experienced a Sun and storm gathering:

In fact, the island is 2, 3, and so has your sleep is four or so, sleep soon wonder is excited or something, anyway 7 points too naturally wake up, so I can't wait to see out of the room.

(Night sleep can hear the sound of the waves). We selected the waterfront room, away from the sea is 10 m distance. Blue sea lapped Beach, took a deep breath, too cool! here because of the relatively dry, no other seawater that smell of tidal surge, but very comfortable. Go out and look around in a circle, we live in a room off the water Villa is very near from the outside looking in fact that it happened, where also very comfortable, with balcony, and very clean.

Here are 7: 30 start breakfast, so my mother and I walked around the island, the island, walk around estimated 20 minutes will go out.

All the houses on the island are thatched roof, but of course after the shop is in the cement, never on the ingress of water. Go to the dining room, the restaurant is the half-open, is also a hut on top, but it is a wooden roof, storey high, there are several classical fan in the rotation, I feel very comfortable. A in which several local waiter greet, greeting us good morning. And asked us a few personal arrangements after a two-person seat. Meals are buffet here, so I took the food back to swap seats, waiter said no, and then just to be Schedule table on a room number, and tell me here in a few days no matter what meal we have fixed here, other people would not have to sit in. I understand that I feel very good. No one is going to preempt your seat, a humanized! (if you are not satisfied, you can put conditions permit can replace)

Eaten after breakfast, we went to the front desk at the next few days on what activities you can participate on the island.

Here is this: you can own the island swimming, snorkeling, but if you need to participate in other activities of the Islands must be to the front to see if there is no suitable activities, typically one day in advance, if you have a suitable you can directly in the form of kanban to fill your room number and name, left, is waiting for, because each activity will have a minimum size limit, if there are too few people who participated in this activity will be cancelled. My mother and I have booked a tour around the island (60 beautiful knife/person), there are two islands, one is uninhabited island, but the scenery is very beautiful, a visit to the local fishing village. If successful, then the next morning the collection directly to the Terminal.

Arrangements for the next day's activities, and also practical point, and then we returned to the UK for retooling went swimming.

Morning in the sea had a great time, plenty of sunlight, foreigners are generally spread a thick layer of sunscreen there lay a day. We had a whole morning, hungry, so he went to the restaurant. The buffet lunch is abundant, ate very satisfied. Yes, because the local water, therefore, to take advantage of noon drink more drinks, buffet of beverage very cool, not so sweet, delicious. We had dinner together, to eat around the island and go in a circle, just go to the room at the door on deck, they saw a lot of dark clouds in the sky, although very beautiful, but is a bit scary that beautiful, but later began to blow, I thought, let's not be so bad, but the storm really so. Dark moments full of blue sky, began to have a little hot air in the blink of an eye drops 10 abundance, become abnormal and cool. Soon, the rain, very large. This time my mother also glad that good without living in water villas, because the water Villas at this time is like in the sea in a boat, ready to blow away by the storm. (In fact, quite sturdy, it is no problem, just a feeling, that's all). A look at the weather, come on, where to go, perhaps the time difference, we simply have a NAP. Cool weather is the most suitable sleeping, it really is true that wake up, actually all 5 points, hear the sound of rain outside, I was a bit relieved, you know, if you have always been the weather is done, finally came. Go out to look at, and sure enough rain basically stopped, it was already faster in black, this day not too long, I do not know why, 7 a.m. more Sun will come out at night to 6 basic already getting dark.

There's nothing special activities in the evening, after dinner back into the room, pay TV, TV is because there are no TV Tower, can only be a satellite reception.

So no watching. Bring books at this time played a role, just spend time. Mother because the time difference, quickly went to sleep again. Look for a long time, finally sleep, look forward to tomorrow is good weather!

The second day on the island – boarding paradise of uninhabited islands; Ken my most expensive Coke!

Morning, see outside the Sun has come out, a big let down.

Is God have eyes and not let us come in white. After breakfast, the appointment time to the hotel lobby. When it comes to the Hall, there is an open house, the ground or sand, very interesting.

In addition to less than 10 people, mostly on the island of Italy, we have two ships, everyone on the boat, we sit on top of the ship is a platform, you can sit in the Sun.

Italy has above all, the boat's are all Chinese. The boat is very slow, but steady relatively comfortable. Open approximately 30 minutes only feel immediate suddenly a bright, dark sea water was gone, replaced by such as sky color of sea water, a few kilometres radius are feeling. Generally live in the sea around the islandShallow water area will not be too wide, so I feel really not the same. Really beautiful. Finally landed, I can't think of disembarkation, jumped into the sea. The island is uninhabited islands, because of the cross section is very narrow, if a storm could soon be wave dash off a whole, so it is not suitable for living. Our morning can freely here, more than 1 point at noon to the island's Pavilion eat BBQ (already included in travel costs). Accompanied by island staff that everyone disperses start free activities separately. My mother and I went along the island, selected a scenery pretty sea swim. About 10 m away from the water have a root wood, do not know when washed here, because the water is shallow, a small part of the stuck in the sand, the majority are on the water. Looks very nice, I took in it next to several photos of the final effect is very good. Later, again to another Beach, I took a dive lens to underwater water, too, there are many fish in the side trip to tour, but I can only shoot underwater machine closer to the King, a slightly closer to the fish will run. The effect is not particularly good.

My delight, a torpedo, the nemo "there, Nemo, it's the flying fish heads! (previously only seen in the Aquarium, really) is said to belong to a shark, but is not terrible, at first I thought it was a turtle, it's on my leg, without moving, then I greeted everyone came to see it, the more likely it is to see people fear, then quickly Flash on, the whole body is buried in the sand, only exposing the eyes and a tail, it looks really funny.

To noon, we begin eating.

That is, in fact, already a BBQ prior cooked up, things down is still very good, is not drink, but the mother herself with the water, so we did not want to drink. Foreigner to the water, a bottle of mineral water, a bottle of Coke 2L, several Chinese people see they all drink, even the price did not ask to a few bottles, the money you need cash, and so a knot checkouts silly! big Cola 19 beautiful knife (155 Yuan) a bottle but there is no way!!!, drunk, unaffordable had money, they face are green. This time I'm just glad that MOM's wise decision. Oh, my most expensive Coke!

After is to another island, is the local people living on the island, ragged Island, there are a lot of mosquitoes, not much meaning.

Look up also has a shopping street, so I seem to have again from paradise, but it is not good, we didn't go, stood in the dock, and other people. By the way, to say what is that on the uninhabited island was no shower place, so we all are wearing swimwear, because the climate is dry, while the sea breeze is blowing dry clothes. But if the local residents place to live, or need to wear trousers or long towel on surrounding, must not be too exposed. After it is returned to the island we lived.

Evening meal there is little surprise, because tomorrow is going to leave here, so that the guest's table are usually not the same, I thought it was for the tablecloth, look closely is a small grain of blue tiles from the "see you again" (welcome again), very warm, so we really felt the hotel carefully.

The third day---male adventures my uncles

Return is today's 22 points, we are at 5 p.m. departure from hotel to airport, shuttle boat to the hotel school.

All the island's consumption and cost of traveling yesterday need time to settle check-out. One last outing 60 beautiful knife, plus the island bought a root local characteristics of scarf (there are many kinds of methods, when trousers, skirt) 10 beautiful knife, this time it took a total of 130 beautiful knife. Is good.

After 40 minutes, we went to the airport.

Since we went to the airport after a period of time, so I would like to take this time to go around Malé. The baggage at the airport store spent 6 beautiful knife, from the airport to the male has a lot of boat, 15 minute trip, very convenient. Fare: one 1 beauty knife than we live in island male tour cost much (the island is 30 beautiful knife one), my mother and a boat, just 10 minutes to male '. The ship, my mother asked me to ask, I say simply take a walk, I was with the fingers means: "here," we haven't come out 5 step, go to two Chinese, I just feel that familiar, also did not respond to himself, he heard the opposite the man called my mom's name! this is my response here: it was my uncles!!! is my dad's parents brother!!! too unexpected! mysteriously! because had not said, but they have been settled in Australia, a year back to a time, this time in a completely foreign country met, but without any call in advance to play, is it not called Adventures?! "said two sentences, told we haven't dinner, we had dinner together, chatting, didn't know he was here on business, and will leave the next day. It is a coincidence. This meeting gives us the entire journey Tim color number. Every interesting.

Summary of the article:

In fact nothing to sum up, this time due to the elderly is to accompany, so there is no diving is sorry because Maldives is said to be the world's best diving areas.

If you have the opportunity to come back next time, I have to go to dive diving.

The Maldives have nothing to buy, at airport duty free shop in addition to printing beautiful album worth buying, other things are working very rough, a little like Beijing wholesale market.

There is an English album I really want to buy, but the price is a little expensive, 28 Mei knife, I didn't buy a forbearance. But think a little regret, the next time.

To say souvenirs, I in Sri Lanka airport transit time buy local specialties Ceylon black tea but is very popular with his colleagues, did not know it tastes good, so I didn't dare to buy more, but then came back from everyone welcome, then really should buy a few boxes is that price is not expensive, 3-10 beautiful knife.

In short the preparation before departure

Is more important, in addition to access to large amounts of information, find your own island, a closer look at what I wrote the first article of the content of the prepared on all of travel should be great reference point.

Well, you write so much, if you have any questions feel free to email (rhea_chan@sohu.com) to ask me, ask me Oh.
