My dream comes true in Maldives

I always wanted to go to the Maldives but for one reason and another time for another I have always had to postpone this year .... but I'm the m10 anniversary of marriage ... and no one stop me!!

 

And finally after many months of waiting and on the Internet
in search of our island arrived November 28, the date of
for veligandu.
We arrived in Milan Malpensa with a significant advance and after
the processing of check-in we waited for the departure of our flight
Eurofly Milan-Male via Fiumicino.Il to travel the length
about 9 hours fell quiet, but the air is really too
tight, especially for me and my husband that we are very high and
We arrived a little destruction. Unfortunately the weather was piovvigiono -
so through the clouds but you could see the first and atolls
This has made us forget the stiffness' of our poor legs!
Landed at Male under the rain and humidity is' terrible, we have

we have to park in the place usually reserved for the President

combined with the wet fatigue of the journey, the slow staff
inside the airport for customs controls make me almost
sleep. But here we are invested just emerged from a
''anthill''of people who share the tourists as the tour
operators and lead them to fast boats or seaplanes stop.
We have taken the seaplane, veligandu was reached only
in this way! tThe our expectation and 'was very short, after a few
minutes have announced our flight (keep your ears well-designed
the announcement is not entirely clear!) and we got on''zanzarone''.
Unfortunately, the inclement weather there was gratified entertainment

nothing.
Only when we arrived on veligandu and I saw its shape

dreamed of this moment I was instantly in love ....

All'attracco dell'idrovolante Andrea was waiting for us, the referent of

while I walk on the pier enchanted by the colors of the lagoon.
We did sit at the bar and after a cocktail and a wipes
refreshing us briefly explained the various halls and the
habits as well as' ending the island.
We were then accompanied to the bungalows ... I have noted with
extreme satisfaction that we, the 134 was facing the
the west side as I had specifically asked the agency in
reservation. Unfortunately, our bags were left in Male and
There have been delivered only in the late afternoon (can 'happen
since there were so many sull'idrovolante and reserve for
Security not too loaded) The inside of the bungalow is very
simple but nice and especially clean is the bathroom
Maldivian, comfortable mattresses, in room safe, stereo with
Cd, air conditioning with individual control and shovels. In front was a
small portico with a bowl of water used to clean the
feet from the sand before entering the beach and there are two let -

Our holiday is begun in the afternoon, the rain
had stopped falling and we have resisted the call of
the wonderful sea! Our first sighting of the baby

We toured the perimeter of the order to know better and are

to imagine before nino, when this strip was very
piu 'long and wide and the barrier reef was alive with color
spectacular. I must say, however, so that 'the true ............
journey of 9 hours!
The common areas, ie bar, restaurant, TV room, reception have
all the sand so it is useless to bring so many shoes, it turns almost
always barefoot and has a very nice (slightly '
less when you call again and closed shoes, as in
my case, since in Italy it was winter!)
We were pleasantly surprised by the restaurant and quantity '
and quality 'of foods that we have served during the week!
We have not ever eaten the same thing twice! And then it was
so all 'good and vario.Alla morning there was a large selection of
croissants and cakes, juices, fresh fruit, waffles, toast or upholstered
simple, then scrambled eggs, sausages and cheeses. Tea or coffee '
is served at your table by your personal waiter, our era
Amir, always friendly and available, especially to invent
weather, when the promised rain day
was wonderful, when it promised the sun and against the sun, in
afternoon time will cloud! Otherwise our talk
focused on football and sports in general ... not sfidateli volleyball
perche 'are much more' clever and more 'agile of us!
Returning to the kitchen to the buffet lunch provided always
wide selection of appetizers, vegetables, potatoes cooked in various ways,
rice, pasta, meat and fish delicious, sometimes cooked with spices
(the container was usually divided into two parts, a mild non -
-very spicy and hot, for lovers of the taste palates piu 'forte)
Then there was also a buffet of pastries, with ice cream, mousse, cakes and
shaped fruit in many varieties'. In the evening buffet was
monothematic, there was the Maldivian evening, the international
Italian etc. My husband and I have also made the dinner with
of lobster: I would personally recommend it, is not very
cara, apparatus outdoors on the jetty in front of the restaurant, ov -
advance and by candlelight, with the noise of the waves in the background.
That night the sky looked like a carpet of stars, so 'close to

In the evening, over dinner, there is the possibility 'of making romantic

Very nice movie of diving, then we had the mythical

public to show their competitors, rather sull'addormen all -
tato say ... and you choose your favorite) films in the in -
English, the evening of the quiz, the dance performance, a little disco,
All done very simply and without forcing anyone.
During the day is to laze in the sun (we have not had
but very exits when it is necessary to truly protect
properly, otherwise burns ..... I had brought a pro -
tion 30 but I managed to burn the scalp and
I guarantee that a terrible evil !!!!! For snorkelling is
better bring a shirt) and explores the barrier-reef
na that is not very far from the beach. On the east side is more '
rich in fish, including large scale, while side
West pinneggiare you have a little 'more' to get on the bar -
Riera as the lagoon is more 'broad. I am not a great
swimmer but the spectacle that we see in those few centi -
meters of water is something truly unforgettable.
The point where the reef plunges into the deep blue
I had a fascinating, indescribable in words,
saw myriads of colorful fish, the rays of the sun -
bright blue ocean ..... no one would ever leave
from the water and move away from this wonder of nature.
The thrill of swimming in an aquarium almost hear
parrot fish and scratched the coral in search of food
(I did not believe that the''crunch, crunch''that I felt were pro -
their own ...!!!) me even now and I think
truly a dream to have a week's tale
on this island.
As for excursions, we did leave
the island of fishermen, Rasdhoo and snorkelling safaris. To
Rashdoo objectively there is little to see, even if it is in -
teressante see how they live and work the Maldivians we
resulted in their school and then we
visited the''factory''of the dhoni. Then go ahead for shopping:
There is an entire street of shops where to buy souvenirs
very good prices. Sarongs, sculptures in wood, t-shirt,
you are the master, even if my husband was able to
buy a backpack trekking type to which it is committed! Holders
very kindly invite you to visit their shops, but not
are never oppressive and insistent, but is happy to bring
chat with you the most 'and I meno.Personalmente
have found a''very good''to deal with the cousin of Amir,
proprietor of the store''''Gabiano shop, just so ', Italian style!
Needless to say that the return to the dhoni was charged twice journey!
The Maldivians are still very friendly people,
educated and available, always greet you with smile on their face
even if you meet 20 times a day they will smile
really glad the day.
Excursion into the snorkelling safari we achieved
3 points of the barrier between Kuramathi, Maadivaru and Rashdoo.
This was truly a trip for me not to forget -
forget and I urge everyone to do it if you go to veligandu, since repeated
more 'times a week I would have wanted to go back a second time
.......... but unfortunately 'because I slipped on the dhoni (always bring
the slippers!) my ankle claimed pieta '!
If you are not skilled swimmers rented a $ 5 per day, the jacket-sal
vagente that keeps you afloat and allows you to access that
wonder who is the reef ... The boat stops in each half of
these points and proceed to snorkelling together.
The water here is much more 'clear that around the fish and more'
numerosi.Personalmente great and we saw turtles,
a big moray eel that we observed a 'threat (perhaps the
we would be ahead with 20 people that we do not lose
sight ...!) and a pair of clown fish in their
sea anemone. The corals were also the most 'diverse and more' colorful and
cio 'bodes well for the resumption of growth after el nino.

And unfortunately, after all beauty is also the time came to leave
lanostra isoletta.Di good now we have had the clock and our
waiters were already 'ready to serve breakfast, then to
06.15 our seaplane arrived and when it was
detached from the sea in front of me veligandu came the tears
eyes ..... it was not a farewell but ...... only a goodbye
