Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 6

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

Wednesday started off quite late on, Sam woke around 8.30am who asked if we were bothered about breakfast. I said no, and hit the pillow again… Woke about 12!
We got out of bed at about 12ish, got dressed and headed, again in Zombie fashion, in the heat to the restaurant. I really didn’t feel hungry, but I was very thirsty. The food was too tempting to turn down so I had a bit of everything from the grill and a bit of salad.
Even though I said I wasn’t hungry, I still managed to polish of...

Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 5

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

We woke around 9ish and felt absolutely drained. I’m sure I walked to the restaurant looking just like a zombie out of Shaun of the Dead!
I had more breakfast than usual, as I knew we had got a boat trip leaving at 10am. And wanted something in my stomach to chuck up if I did get sea sick.
When we finished we had a slow walk round to the taxi jetty via the sea bungalows. The staff checked us in and we sat and waited to be boarded.
The boat looked like something that was used in the ancient tim...

Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 4

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

Monday today, and started as early as normal at about 8ish. Walked to the restaurant to get some Brekkie. As per usual it was a full English mixed with a bit of continental cheese and meat to help me fit in with the Germans.
We headed back to the hut, via the reception yet again. And hit the pillow, I’m really not sure if it is the heat that is knocking us all out or if it is the time difference. But we all managed to sleep in our lovely air conditioned hut until lunchtime.
Lunchtime, we went...

Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 3

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

Got up for about 8ish and went for breakfast in the restaurant. The walk there was a sign of the weather for the day. Red Hot!
For breakfast I had the almost typical full English, except for adding a few fried potatoes, but ensuring that I polished off a bottle of water and a couple of cups of tea.
Whilst eating at our table, a German guy next to him had a parrot or brightly coloured bird of some sort land on his shoulder. The waiter scared him off and the parrot.
After breakfast we had a wander...

Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 2

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

We all woke bright and early, but in pain as Charlie had slept in the middle of us. Charlie is not the easiest person to share a bed with, he fidgets and kicks. Sometimes it ends in tears, and they are not his.
We got dressed and headed to the Restaurant for breakfast. The waiter again sat us down and served us cups of tea. We went and had a look around at the choice of food. There were continental breakfasts with Cheese, Meat and Bread Rolls, there were waffles and a number of sauces. There w...

Maldives (Velidhu) - Day 1

Posted by Rhys Adams on Monday, June 29, 2009, In : Holiday; Maldives

We landed about 15 minutes ahead of schedule. We stepped out of the plane into just instant heat. We stepped about 50 yards from the plane into the air conditioned terminal.
We passed through Passport control and were given our Visas. From here it was another few yards to the baggage collection area. Within minutes the carousel started and our bags came out.
We then, bizarrely had to have our bags x-rayed before we went out into the Arrival area of the airport. This is the quickest time I have ...
