An unforgettable trip to the Maldives (5)

31 January 2004, fine

How fast time goes by, this is our last day of the Maldives.

I and my husband up sleeping beauty beauty gelanjue. After getting up again along the usual lines around the island go in a circle, and we bid farewell to a familiar things. After breakfast, we went to the balcony, feeding the fish, coffee, reading, sea, listen to the sound of the waves, enjoying everything we have today. During our tour leaders also from Kuredu a call over (he finally remembered we had), asked about our conditions and arrangements for the afternoon and said good night at the airport.

12 noon, we packed in your luggage at the door, to the lobby to check-out (in accordance with the provisions, we must check in before 12 o'clock, but also additional charges, which is a lot of teams or tours to the male half-day tour on the last day of the main reasons for the afternoon).

Thought that the checkout should smoothly, and never thought or out point of the episode. Our first days, local to accompany said ready to send our circle Island Tour, evening sea fishing and male half day tour and told us she had and the hotel speak well, but the checkout only to find related costs actually are in the US, it seems to me really did not tell the credit. I quickly called and she ties, representations for a long time, the hotel is promised to us can not pay the related costs.

After lunch, we took the boat speedboat to male ', to accompany has agreed to in male ', we do help us arrange submerged submarines.

The full moon is very near from Malé Island, approximately 15 minutes. Okay, to accompany also come about if we in the Terminal, she let us tour with guide, another male 40 minutes to Terminal collection. We the people on board is divided into several groups, a local tour guide with our tour to male '. The male is very small, only 2.5 square kilometers, the road are mostly white road, the House is very short, mostly two or three-storey, with blue and white, bright colors in the sunshine is very eye-catching. We went on a guided tour of the old and new, visited the Presidential Palace, ancient minaret mosque, Muslims, and from the outside to watch the Sultan Park (because it is a Saturday, the Park has no door), it is said that the Maldives has the highest "mountain" (only 2 meters high, but according to the Guide stresses or man-made).

The male ' main attractions after reading from our collection of time at the pier there are twenty minutes or so, the remaining two couple requests to go shopping, and my husband would like to take this opportunity to take a look at the fish market.

Fish dock very close, but I wonder if this is the time, the fish are not as many articles have covered a wide variety of fish, there is only one species of fish — big tuna, but there are small, it is said that local people only eat the fish that don't eat other fish. One side of the fish are specialized for meat peeling, motions, less than a minute, you can put a fish into skin, bone, meat, it can truly be said to "practice makes perfect!"

After watching the fish market, we came to the Terminal, take the boat to ride submarines.

Submarines in the distance of the Pier near the sea, immersed in the sea, only floating on top. From the top into the submarine submarine, see submarine on both sides with a row of stool, probably can accommodate up to 40 people, each stool front has a small window for visitors to look at. And so everyone settles, submarine dive begins, and soon hear cabin children were rocketing, issued originally appeared in the window were big fish, fish are elliptic, gray body with yellow fin, there is a large, curved mouth, looks charmingly naive, very interesting. The submarine service staff told us that today's dive depth of about 30 m, main landscape is a coral reef, as only one side of a submarine with coral reefs, so take the side of the people look, such as submarine turned back order a side of people look to one side for about 20 minutes. Submarine dive quickly, coral reefs and soon came into our eyes, the window of the coral is not many, but there are all kinds of aquatic plants, there are groups of tropical fish in the meantime, the water scene for not seen underwater world of people, especially children, are still very attractive in a submarine, from time to time you can hear the rocketing, but since we previously had repeatedly snorkeling experience, currently seen in fact and snorkeling when almost, but also from a variety of fish and colorful than snorkeling on the run, so I felt very ordinary. Forty minutes passed quickly, we came out from the submarine on boarding the boats sail to full moon island.

Back to the full moon when you have 5 points of the island, many provisions in the Maldives or full humanity, although we have to check out at noon, but the Islands before an hour of time you can enjoy sauna, on the island in the bath room.

We first went to the pub and hope to again see feeding the fish, but only the original several guests wandering around in the water and see someone to feed the fish. Ask the bar waiter before know that here one week only feed the two fish, not be able to see every day, it seems we can appreciate that day to feed the fish is considered good luck.

As yet to dinner time, we have to lobby to the bath room key, ready for a shower before dinner.

We enjoy sauna room in the East of the island, close to the beach to the South, should be regarded as "luxury beach front Villa", the room was very big, but within the facilities and housing are relatively simple, decorated than water housing to a lot of bad and although is built on the shore, but the House always has a musty, feel not very comfortable, we choose three days are water housing or correct.

Bath tidy up after we returned to the lobby, and then the key in the canteen, peer has been there for us.

This is what we in the Maldives the last meal and eat our yesterday's booty-caught fish. We eats edge talk these days feel, really feel strongly attached. Despite our repeated urging, but still waiting for a long time to wait for yesterday to participate in sea fishing exclusively made of fish, the waiter to everyone-to a large plate, top with two large pieces of fish, and each individual fish from the size to shape exactly, it seems that this is a hotel specially prepared, estimation and caught fish yesterdayDoesn't matter. I have a little taste, but fish is very hard, not when the domestic eat fish that fresh feeling, I do not know what they are cooked. Others feel the same way, with her husband's Word is "do not know how to put the fish do so unpalatable!" but taking into account the efforts of a hotel, we reluctantly eat a lot, so as not to seem impolite.

Our speedboat project 8: 30 on time from full moon Island out send us to the airport, just now, fish waste a lot of time, and so we have fast dinner 8: 20, we just got a few people to walk, I heard the waiter behind shouted: "Wait Wait!!" we are strange, the waiter with a list of running over, tell us about today's Supper travel agency has not paid, we need to do their own billing, accompany and what hands and feet, so we require first and stayed in touch.

We accompanied the waiter to the lobby, it knows not only today's dinner, even this afternoon's male half day tour (early on that Nice is to escort missions) and also to our own billing, endeavor is really not about credit.

I picked up the phone contact with her, but has always been busy, always Scofield, estimates are intended to avoid our phone. Now more than a half, we don't check out words cannot leave, if you miss the boat (yacht in the evening to the airport only this class), the consequences will be disastrous. In desperation, we had to side sent terminal requirements speedboat slightly a while first and settle the account in the hotel, the airport and then to travel service offices.

And so we arrived at the terminal end reconciliation knot after 8: 45, ship full of people, everyone dissatisfied at us from a few people, it is because we kept everyone's time, we had to apologize.

Thought we will visit the Maldives travel on a successful period, but also out of this thing, as if we were to repudiate, everyone in the boat on the way to the airport are more and more angry and no one willing to talk.

Ship in the airport terminal landed shortly after the disembarkation see travel guide and large groups of Members waiting for us.

We at this point is in the air, immediately rushed up to guide asked what happened, the Guide also puzzled, said to accompany obviously tell him everything is arranged well, didn't expect such a problem, but his attitude is also good, let us give him the statement of account, the money paid to us, we will not say anything more.

Since that day and big break up after a member has not seen, so we have not done so, all want to look at each other over the last few days of experience and feelings.

After Exchange before know that our 6 individuals than their happiness much: first "Kuredu" holiday island far away from the airport, to accompany said sat speedboats to more than one hour, but they went the day boats full open for nearly four hours, and so they arrived day dawn; also "Kuredu" holiday island was a four star hotel, but relatively primitive, facilities, and humble island surrounding coral reefs also rarely, plus from so far away from the male ' airport, accommodation price is far lower than the original travel service commitment of the full moon Island (five star); then "Kuredu Island" mosquitoes ", we are all suffering from the pain of mosquito bites (I am also very strange, go see a lot of travel of the Maldives is mentioned in many mosquitoes, and we are dedicated to bring a mosquito, but the Pharaoh and the full moon on the island are a mosquito, wonder and island location and surrounding environment-related).

In this case, the large group of people and travel agencies are repeated representations, the ultimate travel agents agree to give the circle Island Tour, sunset fishing, male half day tours and other activities and arranged for its return travel by seaplane to male ', the costs are borne by the travel agency, but they also intend to continue to provide the travel claim.

All our current tour is also very miserable, not only must every day to complain, but also to spend a lot of time and request that headquarters of many of the additional costs are also used their own money in advance of the final amount even credit card overdraft are full. And it is said that the provisional capital of the first night without arranged rooms, nearly got out of the island, finally reluctantly and Regiment of others crowded one night, the second day after repeated representations only to a room. It seems here to accompany approach is too harsh.

Listen to their experiences, we have several people no longer complain, and they compare, we've got these days has a very comfortable, but basic and advance ideas almost, apart from some unpleasant episode, we have truly appreciate the beautiful scenery of absolutely the Maldives and the paradise-like calm serene.

Our plane took off from the airport, take the meet and a little regret, we managed to leave the people soul dream place around, believe that the future one day I'll revisit this again, for unforgettable moments!
