A Long Weekend in Maldives

It was about noon when we went to the beach, with the sun shining brightly down upon us, and got ready for a game of volleyball. We befriended some other guests that agreed to play with us. After a heated game of about an hour, we decided to laze around at the beach and get some tan while the kids played in the crystal blue waters. We went back to the restaurant only to find lunch already prepared for us. The platter consisted of a variety of different dishes – Maldivian curry, charcoal-grilled king prawn, marinated lobster, freshly cooked tuna and many more. Once lunch was over, we went to our villa and took a quick nap in the comfort of the king sized bed. In the evening, we took a stroll around the island. After dinner, we went to sleep.

The entire second day was devoted to scuba diving. After a hearty breakfast, we set out to meet our instructor who then taught us the basic idea and made us familiar with the procedure. It was one hell of an adventure and it taught us different lessons such as teamwork and fighting our fears. Dinner was served and after bonfire and music, we all fell soundly asleep.

The third day was full of delight. When we were done with our morning meals, our butler told us we would be doing some fun activities that day. We went for snorkeling, where we were taught about the different methods and were given tips and tricks. The kids made sandcastles at the beach and pictures were taken as memories that would last a lifetime. We sat at the sunset, the scene so stunning and breathtaking that it immediately got registered in our photographic memories. Nothing I have ever seen has been so wonderful.

On the last day, we started packing and got ready to bid goodbye to our fellow tourists and, the resort staff and the team members. Full of memories and great hospitality that the island had provided us; we boarded our flight back home.

I would like to suggest everybody go visit Maldives at least once in their entire lifetime. They surely do not disappoint.
