Great variety of fish in Male

16 October 2012

It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Male, the capital of Maldives. Fishermen from the atolls come and bring their daily catch.

Good place to buy your souvenirs

It is quite small so you can just take a walking tour and visit all the attraction in a day or even less. The top activity to do in Male is souvenir shopping as there is a number of bigger shops and tiny boutiques offering various kinds of things to bring home. Islamic city center and the fish market are also worth a visit.
However, some things are not allowed. For example, one will not find alcohol in restaurants or shops so be ready to stay sober :)

Nice flight with Etihad

Another important advantage of flying with Etihad Airways was plenty of space for legs and opportunity to recline in the seats.
Not to mention the friendly and polite crew who were willing to help, supply additional water or simply stop for a chat.
All in all, I can reccommend them!

Souvenirs in Male

9 October 2012

As the choice of souvenirs was not large in our island, we decided to do the shopping in Male, the capital of Maldives. There is a street called Majeedhee Magu in the city, full of shops an sales people selling various kinds of souvenirs - both the traditional stuff and luxury items.

There is a street called Majeedhee Magu in the city, full of shops an sales people selling various kinds of souvenirs - both the traditional stuff and luxury items. We spent a few hours there checking the stalls, going forth and then coming back :)

The only drawback was that some of the things are prohibited to export, as far as I remember, some corals and other stuff from the ocean. So one should be aware not to buy these lovely things!

Snorkeling in Gasfinolhu Island Resort

4 October 2012

There is no local reef close to the island so one needs to take boats, which depart twice per day. Then diving experience is fantastic - thousands of various fish, corals and even turtles (if lucky!). The instructors were also helpful and professional, we took some diving classes and can recommend ...There is no local reef close to the island so one needs to take boats, which depart twice per day.

Wooow

It was frightening to get in at first as the planes are really small, look pretty unstable and the seats are very close to each other. This was the first time flying a seaplane. But the experience was truly worth it - the views to the islands were fantastic!

This was the first time flying a seaplane. But the experience was truly worth it - the views to the islands were fantastic! Even though the noise was big, it was the only drawback we can mention.

Very good

Singapore airlines were a great experience for us. The seats were comfortable, the cabin crew was very helpful and the food was perfect. We enjoyed this trip a lot and will def use SIngapore Airline in the nearest future.

It was the only airline that fit my schedule. Otherwise I would have chosen other airline I suppose :)
Anyways, the experience was as expected. The food was ok, but otherwise Aeroflot could make some improvements. First of all, service level was pretty low, cabin crew rarely smiled or offered their help. The interior in the planes could also benefit from an update and seats can be more comfortable.
All in all, it's ok for short haul :)

Nice experience with Emirates

25 September 2012

What we liked most about flying with Emirates was the entertainment and food. Entertainment was up-to-date and offered a really wide choice. Food was also excellent, however, people beside our seats did not receive the meals they wanted as some meals ran out.

Food was also excellent, however, people beside our seats did not receive the meals they wanted as some meals ran out.
The major drawback for us was that the space feels pretty cramped, it would have been great to stretch your legs during long-haul flights!
