Maldives Pics
 
Last Night, I cracked on with some pics from a holiday from 18 months ago. Which I still have done nothing with.

Here are some of those pics, some you may have seen before.

Quality pics mate, I love the Maldives, no-where compares to it. We stayed on Sun Island in a water bungalow, those pictures bring back great memories!

worzel 18-08-2010 10:37 AM

Thanks mate. As you say, there is no where else like it. It is my goal now to go back again at some point in my life.

Like you say, just seeing the pictures bring back some fantastic memories. :cool:

Superb

Love the lightning ones

Not to keen on swimming there with a couple of those fish

Spooky 18-08-2010 12:38 PM

WOW great picks Worz! that place looks amazing.

How much time do you actually spend in the UK lol

WRX_Paul 18-08-2010 12:42 PM

Swimming before the reef is fine, just baby sharks and stingrays etc, go the other side of the reef and you will see big sharks, moray eels, rays, barracudas etc, snorkling and scuba diving there is one of the best places in the world. The Red Sea is also superb for diving/snorkling.

worzel 18-08-2010 01:23 PM

Spooky, I do like a holiday if and whenever possible :lol:

Cheers for the comments guys :cool:

Like Paul says, you cannot believe the stuff swimming inside the reefs (atols), but when you drop over the edge of the reef and into the open ocean, it is just spectacular. The sharks, rays, eels, barracuda, and every colourful and beautiful fish there are all around you. The sharks that were up to about 4ft inside the reef are now up to 9-10ft and everything else is scaled up too.

In the sunset pic below, the building you see on stilts, in pretty much the middle of the shot, is the Italian restaurant, every night you sit and watch schools of 10ft sharks swimming underneath you. And twice a week, they feed the sharks with the fish caught on the handlining trip they do. To watch 100 sharks scrapping over the fish is awesome.

Butlins is ok Steve, but not for honeymoon. We did the Maldives for our honeymoon as it is somewhere you may never go again and you will not have a better location, still the best holiday i have ever had, flew out in premium, had a sea plane transfer and we stayed in the water bunglows..........great, now i am looking on Lastminute.com
