Woke at a respectable time, having both had an awful night's sleep. We went to breakfast - good selection - and then to the beach and to snorkel. I finally braved it to the house reef. Gorgeous!
Burnt my back yesterday and so will be in the shade or covered up today.
Had forgotten just how stunning the Maldives are. Fiha is interesting cos there is an island a few miles away (Rannali?) which can be seen quite clearly. This creates a view with fabulous layers of colour from our beach. White sand, pale blue lagoon, deep blue sea, and then a turquoise underlining the white and green and Rannali's beach and trees.
Gosh it is hot today - even with the breeze. Lunch choices here seem better than dinner. They always have a great selection of curry out - two veggie (usually pumpkin and dahl) and one fish. Today I had grilled fish, curry and rice. Roy had his dream dessert of blueberry crumble.
Spent an hour in our room after lunch cooling down. God it's hot today. Then ventured out for another snorkel and to dry off in the shade. Went for a walk around the island and to buy a torch from the shop. This for fish viewing off the jetty at night.
Dinner was italian theme... Roy got steak and rice, for me I had canneloni, beef, mashed potato and aubergine gratin! Then we had tiramisu, coconut pannacotta and italian meringue. All good.
After dinner there was a disco in the Fisherman's bar and so after our jetty walk we sat outside and listened to 80's pop. We are most definitely outnumbered by Germans here. In bed by 11.
