back in male...

crazy hazy
all thanks to our flamin' neighbours.
on the bright (less smoggy) side,
we can pretend we're in foggy london/paris
(feng's very good suggestion).

i escaped the haze with a week in the maldives
*pictures lotsa green-eyed monsters glaring at me muahaha*
the diving was as good, maybe even better, than the last time i was there -
i saw more manta rays and one of them even gave us a private display,
gliding around us for the longest time.
and the weather was heaps better - not a drop of rain,
just burning rays all week long
that turned many of us lobster red.

thanks to the fantastic weather,
we managed to go night fishing.
i learnt that i cannot make a living as a fisherman -
i caught ZERO fish.
it's a good thing the boatmen and most of the other crew
fared far better than i did,
and caught more than enough yummy fish for our dinner.

some less fantastic happenings marred our stay though.
illicit propositions from dodgy island staff,
a mysterious phone call saying that one of us had been airlifted out,
loud knocking of some doors in the dead of the night,
and a broken window and upturned tables and chairs in the balcony.
all very very strange indeed.
