Blue MALDI: a sunken paradise on the sea

- FOREWORD -

In other words, Maldives is definitely marked by honeymoon. Unfortunately, due to the work god horse, beligo and little p devoted their honeymoon to Kenya. The journey of Maldives was delayed again and again until the first anniversary.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the departure date is approaching. But when I really wanted to go on the road, I found that my enthusiasm and expectation for that place had fallen from the sky to the bottom of the valley - probably because I was tired of aesthetic appreciation after reading dozens of graphic strategies. With such a state of mind on the road, I can't help worrying about the desert island life in the next few days. I'm not tired of it as soon as I get on the island, right?! As a result... It turns out that no matter how many practical travel notes and beautiful photos you read before you leave, when you really see the clear and pure blue sea, you will still kneel down and beg the hotel to accept you for a few more days.

Can I tell you this is actually the advertisement of chiguoguo

My brothers and sisters who love to play, to run, to shoot and to photograph, if you have friends who like the pictures and pictures of beligo, please pay attention to me, and my other travel notes (Northern Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, Kenya, followed by Australia, New Zealand and the Arctic god horse), and you'd better poke at the micro blog of beligo:

@Mueller, and blog / Lofter: Mueller. Welcome all the stepless, junior, intermediate, senior and cremated donkey friends.

No more nonsense. Let's go.

About Island selection

I think it's very easy to go to Maldives freely, as long as you can pick out the one you like from a hundred or so small islands that are not too bad in both horizontal and vertical views.

It's almost impossible to play all over the islands, so most people have to choose one or two of their favorite ones. There are several factors that affect the selection of the island

1. Scenery: to tell you the truth, this is basically for making up. You will feel beautiful when you look into the distance from any small island in MALDI. It's a paradise, so this has little influence. If you want to talk about the difference, maybe the quality of beaches is one of them. Some islands are famous for their fine sand and beautiful beaches, such as kulamati, a big tailed island.

2. Hotel style: bellago is lazy and doesn't want to make things too complicated. In my eyes, there are actually two kinds of hotels: one is the primitive wind, with wooden piles and thatched roof; The other is a modern luxury small villa, just like a pure ox villa. Er, in fact, there is a third type of ordinary small hotel which is slightly lower than the former two, that is, the one with several rooms on each floor of a building (but I don't think it's very likely for Chinese youth to choose this kind of hotel when they go to MALDI. This kind of hotel is mainly prepared for those who have been to MALDI and visit the diving masters again). Hotel style is one of the decisive factors in choosing an island. Whether you want to return to the original nature or enjoy luxury and romance is up to you. For those with special requirements, for example, if you want to experience jumping into the sea directly from home, or if there is a glass floor in the room where you can watch fish at any time, remember to choose the island with a water house.

3. Underwater environment: This is closely related to point 2, because in most cases, the construction of Hotels with primitive wind will cause less damage to the coral groups around the island, and the underwater environment will be better protected; The luxury wind will cause more damage during construction, and the coral and fish will retreat further. So if you're going for the floating MALDI, in most cases, the primitive wind is more suitable for you. But this is not absolute. Some super luxury islands are beautiful underwater and luxurious accommodation, but such hotels require you to be very luxurious.

4. Price: it can be divided into two levels. The first level mainly refers to the level of the island. MALDI's Island is divided into star level hotels. Most hotels in 5-star island are higher than 4-star hotels, 4-star hotels are higher than 3-star hotels, and so on. Individual super ox 6-star islands are naturally more expensive. When you choose an island, you can first determine a level according to the amount of money on hand, and then select according to the above items; The second level refers to the consumption on the island. Some islands are all inclusive. That is to say, all the regular consumption after you go to the island is included in your accommodation fee. When you go up, just be a pig, eat, drink and sleep freely. Even the small refrigerator in the room is yours, and someone will make up for it. The other is the accommodation fee, which is paid for everything else, such as drinking water when thirsty and renting diving equipment. In this kind of hotel, I think there will be a big difference between your budget and the final cost.

5. Transportation: we all land in male, the capital city. According to the distance between male and various islands, the transportation will be different. Some islands will arrive by boat; Some islands have to fly by water; Some islands need to be speeded up by inland planes. If you want to experience sea gliding by water plane, choose an island by water; If you want to get to the island as fast as you can, go yachting; If you want to be as far away from the earth as possible, speed up the boat by inland plane. It's said that the farther the island is, the less pollution and damage it will cause, and the better the surrounding environment will be. However, if it's evening when you get to male, I'm sorry that the plane doesn't fly. You need to find a place to stay for one night and leave the next morning.

About weather and low and high season

1. Weather: the rainy season is from May to November, and there is relatively more rain. Baillego went in early May, and it rained half a day in four days.

2. Low season and peak season: for the Chinese people, winter and summer vacation is the peak season, no doubt, the off season is probably the rainy season. It should be noted that the low season and peak season will affect the island's promotion activities, that is, the price, and the low season will be cheaper. In addition, don't ignore the peak season of foreigners, such as Christmas and so on.

About visa and air ticket

1. It's easy to say about visa. Just take a passport and go directly;

2. As for air tickets, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Sri Lanka airlines and so on were able to get to Malaysia when beligo went. Now there are more. Shenma spring and autumn Asia Airlines and Hainan Airlines have numerous special prices. It depends on fate whether they can meet the special prices. Several search engines are coming out again for your reference

About items

I don't want to say too much about this. There is a "list of items on the horse show" everywhere in Du Niang. Just find one and make up for it according to your own needs. I would like to remind you that:

1. The policy of each island is different. Some islands are not all inclusive and even have to rent diving equipment. If you rent it every day, it's not cheap for two people. Bellago thinks that instead of spending money and not being hygienic, he should go to decathlon and buy a set of superficial appliances, which are easy to use and inexpensive. Attention must be dry ha!

2, those who want to go to the diving diving of the Maldives, if they are afraid of tanning or fear of being jellyfish stung by coral, Beller brother seriously recommends that you buy one hundred jellyfish clothes besides the sexy bikini (see below) to block the whole body. It's no use taking photos, of course, but when you go into the water, you can see that the money is not in vain. Baillego looks at many of his colleagues coming up from the water, they are as red as crabs, and there are wounds all over his body. He is really gloating. Oh no, he is dejected for a while!

It seems that the introduction before the trip is almost finished. Next, let's talk about the trip of belieg and little P. First of all, it starts from arriving and going to the island.

Chapter 1: about male

Male, the capital and largest city of Maldives, is also the economic center and the only seaport for foreign trade. It is located on male island in the middle of Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, with an area of about 1.5 square kilometers, an average altitude of 1.2 meters and a population of about 104000. It has a tropical monsoon climate with an average annual temperature of about 28 ℃ and an average annual precipitation of 1900 mm. It is an important military and transportation hub in the Indian Ocean and an important berthing port from the Red Sea, Persian Gulf to the Pacific Ocean. In 1967, Maldives declared male a free port.

As it was evening when I arrived in male, I couldn't get on the island by plane, so Xiao Hei took us to the accommodation in the city first. I came and went in a hurry. I didn't take two photos. I posted two photos of chatting around the port and airport to show my heart. It should be noted that male airport and the urban area are separated from each other by sea, and accommodation needs to go to the city by boat.

As for what hotel to stay in, you can just look for it in some big agencies like shopping according to your own requirements. Anyway, you will get up early the next day and run away. Beilege found this standard room with about 800 yuan, the conditions are standard, cost-effective is not high, not here.

Early in the morning, Xiao Hei took my two back to the port by boat, and then took the bus to the water plane waiting room of Fuji island to wait for take-off. The waiting room is quiet and clean. There are some breads and desserts for everyone to eat. A blonde woman is responsible for asking the passengers to fill in their personal information.

Not long after Shuifei arrived, 4-5 piles of people came out from some corner and rushed to the plane like crazy, probably trying to seize the favorable terrain. Flying in the water has always been belieg's long cherished wish. However, when he got on the plane, he looked left and right and found that it was nothing special. It was just that the beautiful pilot actually drove barefoot. It seemed that the operation was not very difficult.

Looking at the Indian Ocean from the plane, the small islands are dotted with dark blue water like tears of God. People around me are taking pictures with their cameras clacking. However, I always pretend to be calm and feel that I have not been flying for a long time. As a result, when I am ready to take pictures, the plane has already landed on the water and glided.

So I went to the island in such a muddle headed way~~

Chapter 2: Constance moofushi Resort

This chapter begins to talk about the choice of Fuji island by bellago and little p one by one.

1. Overview

Magic Fuji island is a German run, 5-star, medium-sized, located in South Asia in the Atoll (see the specific location below). There are sand houses, ordinary water houses and some luxury water houses on the island (there were more than 20 sand houses and 56 water houses when bellago went, but it is not clear whether there is any increase now), which belongs to the original ecological type.

The overall situation on the island is satisfactory. There is nothing to say about the environment. The service attitude is super good. You can take snacks, dinner and drinks at will. Although the villa does not belong to luxury type, it is more than enough to carry a comfortable and sweet honeymoon. On the Internet, the island's praise rate is as high as 97%, making it the "2014 traveler's choice" title.

2. Architecture

The buildings on the island are very simple. In addition to the villas such as sand house and water house, they are lobby, restaurant, water sports room and spa. These large-scale buildings are also wooden piles with thatch type, and maintain a high degree of unity with the villa style. Front desk is generally a small black mm and French Shuaiguo partner, small black mm accent slightly heavy, oral problems basin friends try to find French Shuaiguo. The roof is full of bottles. Each bottle has a piece of paper. I don't know if it's a wishing bottle picked up from the sea?

3. Accommodation

Before it was time to check in, a group of young people from all over the world decided to save their luggage and go to the seaside. Brother and little p are very reserved and decide to go around the island first to find out what each building is for. When we returned to the lobby after the tour, the rooms were finally allocated and we finally moved into our own sand house.

There was also a little episode when we were looking for the sand house. Because the greening around the house was so good, Xiao P and I walked around half an island and couldn't find our room, holding a key in our hand. We were worried... Finally, we saw the two reclining chairs that were looming out first, and then we found our happy home

Sand house group:

Sand house area is not very big, but privacy is very good, each room is hidden in the lush trees, white sand scattered in front of the door, walk a few steps to the sea. The door... Is my big love hammock ~ ~ my dream is to listen to the sea breeze and sleep in a hammock~~

Make a picture inside:

Here's a close-up of the two lounges that have made a lot of contributions. In the evening, I lie on it and cover a big towel, listening to the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the rustle of the sea tide sweeping away the sand and stones. How can I describe it as "comfortable". Pretending to be a little bit more capable, I also heard loneliness in a foreign country.

Then talk about water house. There are two kinds of water houses in Fuji Island: ordinary water house and luxury water house, which are located in different locations on the island. The biggest difference of luxury water is that the house has a large area, and there is an open-air bathtub on the side of the house, which can be seen by fish while taking a bath. In addition, the coral reef luxury water in front of the house is better.

In other words, my brother is absolutely dedicated. In order to take a picture of the front of the water house, I held up my camera and stepped on the water for more than 100 meters. When I came back, I fell down with cramps. However, in order to prevent the camera from getting wet, a waterproof cover was put on the outside. The photo quality is a little bit that, please don't mind.

The water house can go directly to the sea and take a shower before going ashore.

This is the legendary outdoor bathtub.

The internal environment is similar to the sand house.

4. Diet

I think the biggest advantage of Fuji island lies in its high cost performance. The one price all inclusive price allows you to eat and drink at any time, regardless of the cost. Even the snacks and drinks in the small refrigerator in the room are yours, and they will be replenished automatically the next day. The cafeteria serves special food from all over the world every day. No matter what you like, there are always some things that make you satisfied. In addition, if you catch up with the activities on the island, you will also get a lobster dinner. Baillego catches up with the birthday on the island. Besides the lobster dinner, there are cakes and trios as birthday gifts. It's a great pleasure to eat.

First, two daily self-help cards:

Then there's lobster:

The birthday cake is freshly baked and tastes very wrong. While serving the cake, three chefs will give you a happy birthday with a trio. Baillego was very generous and asked Xiao Hei to cut the cake and give it to everyone present. Barbarians all over the world admired the generosity of our Chinese Youth... In fact, I really didn't want to eat it. I was afraid of wasting it... The most depressing thing is that when I tipped Xiao Hei who cut the cake, I accidentally gave him a $10 bill as a knife, When I see the greedy reaction on Xiao Hei's face, I wipe it. It's called regret

Finally, indoor food:

It's a good fruit kebab with champagne for honeymoon, but we're not honeymoon... Does it look like honeymoon has this treatment?

The most important thing is the small refrigerator. When you have nothing to do at night, you loot all the things in the refrigerator. Then you go to the balcony reclining chair, eat and drink, count the stars, listen to the waves, and immediately upgrade from a loser youth to a rich and handsome one.

5. Scenery

At first sight, the island's customs are not much different from what we imagined. The sand house and water house made of thatch and wood exude a kind of simple, fresh and natural primitive flavor. The flowers and trees are lush, and the big crabs and small lizards roam everywhere.

Although the land is beautiful, it is far less beautiful than the sea. From a distance, the whole sea is in a gradual change of color. Far away from the coastline, it is extremely deep blue, while near the shore, it is clear and transparent light green. See this piece of sea, brother before the high-profile and calm seems to be gone in a moment, like a lump of fall into the mortal sky excrement, holding the camera in all directions of crazy shooting.

The trestle extends from the shore to the middle of the sea, and the lonely thatched pavilion without human trace is silent face to face with the more lonely "treasure house" not far away.

Spa room. It's a pity that little p and I are not interested in this. We even give up the free one. But looking back, the scenery here is very beautiful, facing the sea to do a spa, should be a very enjoyable thing.

The other side of spa. The white clouds rolling in the distance is a dream.

This place is prepared for a candlelight dinner every day. Whenever we see an old couple in Europe and America still enjoying the sweet love in their prime years, walking on the beach hand in hand, and then having a romantic candlelight dinner, we will feel warm. However, it's very expensive to eat candlelight... Pass.

This is the place with the softest wind on the island. The white sofa and the purple cushion are combined together, giving people a soft and comfortable quiet feeling. Lying here, I will forget the time unconsciously.

Our water house faces to the West. We can lie on the balcony and watch the sunset. From time to time in the clear water, there are groups of colorful fish... Er, there are also cuttlefish

The infinity pool on the island doesn't seem to appeal to everyone. The vast sea is near. How many people will care about it?

There is a lonely bench at the end of the plank road of the water house. I wonder if there have been sad people in this romantic country gazing at the line between the sea and the sky?

Before you know it, the sun is setting, and the plank road is full of people waiting to watch the sun. At this time, I finally made sure that other rooms on the island were still occupied... I don't know where everyone was hiding during the day. We didn't see a few people on the island all day

What's this ladder for launching? Does anyone go to the sea to catch up with the sun after watching the sunset and high?

I don't like crowded places. Although the sunset on the plank road is beautiful, Xiao P and I still leave the crowd and stroll to the sparsely populated beach. The setting sun dyed the roof of the water house golden and reflected our long shadow on the ground.

Passing by the thatched pavilion, I decided to lie down and blow the sea breeze.

Sitting in the pavilion, looking far away, I found that the clouds in the sky gradually increased, which had basically blocked the orange sun.

A blessing in disguise, the accumulation of clouds let us enjoy a beautiful picture of burning clouds on this romantic beach. Sun father-in-law seems to have endless attachment to the horizon, still trying to radiate a dazzling light.

I'm a bit of a teenager π What do you mean?

Adidas by the water... No, Adilina by the water. Little p got into the water for the last time before the dark came.

The lonely dusk of Marty. Although there are more than 100 tourists living on the island, it is absolutely silent at this moment. Watching the tide come and go, I can't help feeling a sense of loss.

Wahaha, this is a table for lobster and birthday cake. The arrangement is very fresh and unique. Take a souvenir.

Every day, it's like this. I always feel that in such a place where the pace of life is extremely slow, time should be basically static, but it is still dark in the blink of an eye. At night, walk by the sea and count the stars, or lie in the couch outside to watch a movie, and then climb into the comfortable big bed to end the wonderful day.

The next day on the island, in order to see the sunrise, I got up early. Unfortunately, the clouds did not disperse last night, and the sunrise plan failed. Although the brightness difference between early morning and dusk is not too much, but somehow the morning glow always gives people a sense of vitality, not as lonely as the afterglow.

An early rising water bird, golden rooster, stands on the breakwater, quietly watching the row of sleeping water houses.

It doesn't matter if you don't see the sunrise. Brother and little p decide to pull little crabs out for a walk. The sand crabs here are white and even transparent. It's hard to distinguish them when they climb on the beach.

When I was tired, I sat down on the beach, blowing the sea breeze and watching the waves. I hope all my life can be so leisurely.

Little p sitting on the sea till dawn.

I don't know whose heart is wandering aimlessly on the sea?

I don't want to explain the rest. I started to map without discipline

6. Ecological environment (including floating)

In addition to the scenery, animals and plants are the best reflection of ecology. Because of its primitive style, the construction of magic Fuji has less damage to the surrounding coral reefs, and the underwater environment is good.

Above. This time, I didn't buy a special underwater camera. I just got a small waterproof cover in a certain treasure general. I put on the canon card n years ago and went into the water. As for the effect, it's quite ordinary. In addition, the underwater reflection can't see the screen, so it's a mess. We can make do with it~

When I went fishing, I always felt that fish's IQ was low. This time I came to Marty, I really confirmed this. As soon as I got into the water, a group of black-and-white swallow fish in the picture below hit my brother's face. This group of carefree stupid fish ~ ~ after this group of dumb fish swam away, all kinds of corals and colorful tropical fish came into view. Blue and yellow students have the highest appearance rate.

The two round ones in the picture below are inseparable all the time, wandering among the corals like immortal companions. I hold up my camera and face the white light reflected from the screen, chasing these two guys who are in love. From time to time, I get stuck by big coral. Fortunately, wearing a jellyfish suit can prevent the skin from suffering. Little p found starfish under the coral reef.

As you swim farther and farther, there are more and more fish. The big black and yellow fish on it is half an adult long. When it swims across the river, it shows sharp teeth. Little p is so scared that he almost throws away his breathing tube... When he swims more than 1000 meters away, he can see a deep trench. The difference in water depth causes a huge difference in the color of the sea water. Tentatively swim to the trench to look down, found that actually can not see in the end at a glance. From time to time, a bunch of panic fish swarmed out of the dark ravine. I don't know if there were any terrible creatures lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity? Looking around, I saw a huge unknown fish floating in front of me, moving slowly and strangely like a ghost ship. Think about the magic of the creator. It's better to run as soon as possible.

Besides underwater, there are some other living creatures on the island. Post them here.

Small sharks can be found all over the diving area. He looks like a Kawaii. Several together, like a small submarine swimming in the water.

Every morning you can see countless big crabs on the reef lazily basking in the sun, but it's a pity that they are out of reach. When I first came to the island, I heard that some Chinese people were fined for catching a bag of crabs on the island and cooking them in a hot water kettle. Here I advise you to watch from a distance and not to play with them.

The old stork always stands at the edge of the water in a posture, like a watchman for a thousand years.

And then a few more pictures of plants:

This trip is the main awesome little Octopus debut.

7. Activities

When bellego, there are not many activities on Fuji Island, such as sea fishing, dolphin watching and sea going. Among them, I was most interested in sea fishing, but after fishing, I seriously suspected that there was a god horse problem in that area. After a long time, there were only two or three in a boat. I used to feel that the fishing line in my hand was sinking like flying. As a result, I found that it was wrapped up with the fishing line of my sister from the opposite country. I was very happy.

Look at the dolphins, this is not much to say, pure than character, I two are medium, see some dolphins jumping in the distance play, also see a few turtles. It is said that some comrades are in a good mood to catch up with the dolphins. They swim all the way with the boat, which is enviable~~

-Conclusion-

Here, the trip of Ma Dai is almost over. In other words, the sea of Ma Dai is as beautiful and peaceful as the legend, and life on the island is as carefree as a paradise. I always hear that there are countless children's shoes calling Ma Dai "the last heaven in the world". I think that Ma Dai can be called "heaven". Xiao P and I miss the days when we eat and sleep like gods, and we have the impulse to visit again for countless times; But "the last" is not necessarily. I always believe that there are many places on this magical planet that can match or surpass it. Countless wonderful things are still waiting for us to explore and develop. What's more, with love, where is not heaven? Looking forward to the next trip.
