Maldives is paradise

Sunsets at the villa.
Sunset over uninhabited island.
We went snorkelling with the manta rays. There were 6 of them and they were enormous ! Such beautiful creatures and they simply glide through the water. They circled us and got quite close and they seem to have no fear of humans.

Along the beaches at Rangali island where baby black tipped reef sharks. All day they praticed hunting the small schools of fish and at one point the shark beached itself chasing them and had to riggle it's way back into the water.

The shower where we were staying at the Hilton was completely outdoors but lovely.
The beach front of the villa that we stayed in had a plunge spa pool - divine!
The pool area by reception. All the chairs were in the water so you stepped straight into the water.
Dave relaxing and actually reading a book (took 9 months for him to read book) at our private garden by the bath.
The lovely bedroom with the lounge in the front. Heaven!
The luxury bath which was large enough to fit a cow!
