Travel - Our Maldives Honeymoon Part 2
October 07, 2014
I loved these waiters who came around periodically offering refreshing fruit skewers and cold towels.
In the afternoons we wandered around the island to a different part of the beach, we lived in swimwear the whole time apart from getting dressed for dinner in the evening. The old saying about not needing shoes couldn't be more true 'no shoes, no news'.
We both read lots of books and just lazed around, Ben said he was in heaven watching cricket with a view of the sea. I was in heaven with my kindle and the sunshine!
It was fun dressing up every evening and making a special effort for dinner. We normally do some self-catering when we're on a normal holiday but I'm glad there was no kitchen in our villa as the food in all of the restaurants was amazing.
As honeymooners, we got thrown a candlelit dinner on the beach one evening with lots of fresh fish and a chocolate heart shaped dessert.
On other evenings we would go to a bar before dinner, they had the Sails bar in the middle of the island under the palm trees. {Alcohol is super expensive on all the islands with hotels paying import duties and cashing in on the fact you can't go anywhere else, luckily we don't drink alcohol at all so didn't have to worry but if you do want to have a drink maybe consider the cost of an all inclusive island so you don't have to worry.}
Or the light house bar which was my favourite, looking down over the sea.
We ate so much fish when we were out there, it's all so fresh as a large percentage of the world's fish industry is from the Maldives. We both love sushi. It was so nice to sit by the water outside every evening, the nights were so warm.
We loved the tepanyakki restaurant too, so theatrical. Every night after dinner we'd walk back to our villa along the beach, it was lit only by the stars and moonlight. So magical I think we'll remember that week forever.
