Our last night at Maafushivaru in the Maldives and we decided to do a romantic 4 course meal on the beach in a love heart with candles and one helluva breeze. Beautiful food and company, with excellent service from Rahul
Our last full day before we travel back home and as promised, here is the little hero on her second snorkelling outing in the Indian Ocean. Oh and she found the sea swing again
The top picture was sunset last night at 18.30 and the bottom was sunrise this morning at 05.45 from the gym
And some more shots of the gym, our half kilometre walkway and any guesses what Mrs Fogg is about to eat?
Yup so today we ended up in some really hot water, well about 30 degrees that is, with the outside temp a blistering 34 degrees. Now I know that the UK is in a heatwave, but you really can’t get views like this in blighty.
Hats off then to Mrs Fogg who has a real fear of water, as she not only spent an hour in a kayak paddling us around the island, but also had her very first ever try of snorkelling. Really proud of you for overcoming your fear to put your life in my hands (fool). But a rare chance to see a vast array of fish in the ocean and coral (smoothbelly sardinalla, silver sprat and angel fish among them). Tomorrow she is trying it again and this time photographic evidence.
Oh yes, there was also a heron on the beach
Mrs Fogg is all set for an ocean canoe trip tomorrow, and to relieve the stress of being in the ocean had a light (yeh right) lunch
Another beautiful day in paradise, one little picture of our villa 333 this morning ( which is a half kilometre walk along the boardwalk each way, with three pictures taken at mindnigjt by the pool
And yet another view of the half kilometre we need to walk each way to get to and from the villa
Now that was a hell of an experience. Diving to 12m in the Indian Ocean, swimming with sharks, angel fish, turtles and lobster was something else.
The tank weighs a tonne, you practice in a lagoon before going out in a boat then stepping off the edge and slowly descending to 12m for 40 minutes. Eerie, scary and beautiful all at the same time.
Another full day in paradise, with a 0545 rise to do an hour in the gym, eat, pose on a swing watch the sunset and sharks. And today Mrs Fogg is having an all over body fondle (sorry massage) and I’m trying my hand at scuba diving with the sharks (life insurance is all topped up).
Well yesterday was a long day with travel, heat and lots of food, topped off with a private meal sat on the Indian Ocean watching sharks circling beneath you
All topped off with a birthday cake as Mrs Fogg told them it was her belated 50th birthday and they kindly placed us in the furthest hut from anywhere (anti social is we!)
A wonderful start, topped off with a moonlit walk round the island (it literally does take 4mins 30secs to do that). And at 0600 today, we were both in the gym getting fit
