Thank you Lord after 2 and half years of no travel just work work work, he gave me a chance to travel. Immigration in the Philippines was really hard on my friend. they asked for flight, hotels and itinerary plus our pictures together. MY GOODNESS. They were doubting us travelling 8 countries. and thought we might not come back. lol. we then provided all documents needed. i had to show the immigration officer pictures from my instagram and my blog that we have been travelling together and weve been friends for Years.  After an hour of verification, they finally allowed us to go through. lol

June 1- day 19-

 

This is a picture of their restaurant- lagoon restaurant located at the water villa.

There were so many baby sharks around.. the Maldivians were even feeding them with some steak. lolwe had a great time in maldives. words cannot explain it. lol anyways we had as usual free breakfast, lunch and took 1pm boat ride back to Male Airport

we had hired a private tour guide in male airport paid him about 40usd, i think, He showed us around male city area. it cost about 2usd from male airport ferry ride to male city. it was about 20mins ferry ride.

the Male cemetary. he also mentioned that almost everything is imported here in male, that why a simple MODESS NAPKIN WITH 5PCS COST 10USD. NAKAKALOKAAAAAAA.

we bought some souvernirs too.  He also told us that maldivian source of economy is mostly exporting fish. DUHHH ITS AN ISLAND.  another thing i learned was that Maldives Ban Fishing of Sharks… quite interesting- bawal din kumain ng shark…. imprisonment daw ang katapat m. medyo mahal din ang cost of living sa Maldives.

i was told that this was one of their biggest mosque. it was ramadan that time. so alot of people coming in to worship. This is one of the thing i love most about the islamic religion, there are really strict and thus comply to ramadan rules.
