Travel to Maldives: 3/8/19

Today we traveled from Delhi to Filitheyo Resort in the Maldives. First, a flight to Male with a stop in southern India. When we got to Male we had to wait a few hours for another plane to arrive which had passengers who would be on the same sea plane to Filitheyo as us. The sea plane was very neat. I did a time lapse video which you can watch here:

Sea Plane: Male to Filitheyo

It also includes the boat portion of the trip. Of course on the plane my side had a long stretch with nothing but ocean below where as on Kyle's side of the sea plane there are islands most all of the ride. I'll do another one on the way back to Male from that side to compare. As you can see though, the Maldives are BEAUTIFUL. There are roughly ~1200 islands in the Indian Ocean that make up the Maldives. Most are uninhabited. Male is the main island (and capital), which is pictured to the left. There are islands everywhere, and the water is turquoise and clear. And the perfect water temperature, too. We chose Filitheyo mainly because of the deal presented to us, but also it has one of the best house reefs of all the islands which is perfect for us divers!



Filitheyo International airport... a small platform in the ocean, LOL.



By the time we got checked into our rooms and such, we were exhausted after being picked up at 2AM to leave Delhi. We opted to take a "cat nap" before dinner and didn't wake up until 11PM then went back to sleep. Opps!
