Maldives - Heaven on Earth

Though I'm not too late on writing a travel post but I'm definitely late on writing a review on Maldives - my first exotic destination. By now many of you must have already seen the pics on facebook and must have gauged its beauty. But as its said - a picture can paint a thousand words, so does a review help in spreading those thousand words.:)

I thought this was the best platform to write a review about the island and resort we visited.

Maldives is a collection of about 1000+ islands. It is located in the Indian Ocean and easily accessible from Kerela. It is the smallest Asian country with regards to population and size. Male city is the capital of Maldives, people speak Maldivian language, Islam is their major religion and the currency used is Maldivian rufiyaa. Fishing and Tourism are the major industries.

Beach resort
Sea plane boarding
Candle light dinner in the middle of the sea
Fishes during the fish feeding activity
The water villas
Thats how the sky looks at night
The DHONI
Chaaya Reef Ellaidhoo, is a coral reef which is located an hour away from Male airport. This is definitely a virgin island as not many people are aware of this place and it still stands unexploited.

You will notice just one or two Indian couples visiting this place in every 6 months. Most tourist staying on the resort are either Europeans or Americans. We were lucky enough to be the only Indian couple staying on the resort during our visit.

The one week break is the perfect time and destination to rejuvenate yourself. Its exotic, relaxing and you have all the time to yourself. You can either opt for a beach or water villa as per your budget. This resort is surrounded with turquoise blue water, white sand and not to forget the FISHES, The rooms are lavish and the staff very friendly and warm. The list of activities include scuba diving, snorkeling, island hoping or simply lazing around. You cannot afford to miss the spa treatments and some of their night club activities. Karaoke nights, magic shows, crab race and dance were things that kept us entertained. Now let's talk about the food. 

The resort serves International cuisine. The wisest thing to do is to opt for a full board package since you are staying on the island and not gonna get out of the place. You can treat yourself to some mouth watering spreads that contain food from around the world. From pulavs to pastas, breads, croissant, salads to soups, different types of curries and non veg dishes, fruits and desserts, cold drinks and drinks too. You have a variety to choose from.

Evenings you can enjoy fish feeding activity and look at the aquatic life. Fishes of all colours, types and sizes will mesmerise you. They are harmless, unless you spot a stingray or a baby shark in the pool.

On the last day we were flown back to the airport via a sea plane. These sea places belong to the local Maldivian airlines and has a capacity to take only 8 to 10 passengers at a time. Their boats are called as Dhoni which take you right at the middle of the sea from where you are supposed to board the sea plane.

It was and will be one of our best trips. Its the perfect place for your honeymoon or if you just need to spend some quality time with your self. Till then keep reading, travelling and exploring until I come back with my next travel review.

Regards,
Priyanka Ohol

Sunday School Songs ..

GO TO THE BY WAYS

Go to the by ways, tell them on the highways
Tell them that your their friend
Tell them the church is open
They're welcome to drop in
Talk just a little bit 
Sing just a little bit 
Throw in a smile or two 
And here's wishing how do you do
For the Lord is counting on you and me and you


I love to go to Sunday School 
I love to sing the songs 

I love to share what God has done, 
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
But I hate to see the boys and girls
Who stay at home and play
For they're missing what the Lord has done
For you and all Mankind

Go to the by ways, tell them on the highways
Tell them that your their friend
Tell them the church is open
They're welcome to drop in
Talk just a little bit 
Sing just a little bit 
Throw in a smile or two 
And here's wishing how do you do
For the Lord is counting on you and me and you


THE WISE MAN

The wise man built his house upon the rock (3)
And the rains came tumbling down (2)
The rains came down and the floods came up (3)
And the house on the rock stood firm (2)

The foolish man built his house upon the sand (3)
And the rains came tumbling down (2)
The rains came down and the floods came up (3)
And the house on the sand fell down (2)

WHO IS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE

Who is the King of the jungle

Both the Jungle and the sea

PHARAOH PHARAOH

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh no
Let my people go, Uff yeah yeah yeah
Singing Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh no
Let me people go, Uff yeah yeah yeah

The burning bush told me just the other day
That I should go over and I should stay
I'm gonna take my people from the Pharaoh's Land
And lead them all over to the promise land

Singing Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh No
Let me people go, Uff yeah yeah

SATAN DIDN'T LIKE IT

Satan didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Came out the wilderness, came out the wilderness,
Satan didn't like it when we came out the wilderness
Walking with the Lord (3)
Satin didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Walking with the Lord

Satan didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Came out the wilderness, came out the wilderness,
Satan didn't like it when we came out the wilderness
Swimming with the Lord (3)
Satin didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Swimming with the Lord

Satan didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Came out the wilderness, came out the wilderness,
Satan didn't like it when we came out the wilderness
Dancing with the Lord (3)
Satin didn't like when we came out the wilderness,
Dancing with the Lord
