Maldives

The Maldives (pronounced Mahldeevs), is a tiny gem of a country off the southern coast of India. Its area consist of hundreds of inhabited and uninhabited island atolls. Even its main airport is situated on its own island. Due to its unique land mass, I felt as if the best way to experience the country would be from a sailboat.
I took a tour provided by Voyages Maldives which would provide meals and room on board their 70 foot boat for the week. The entire week was spent cruising the different islands, snorkeling among the brilliant reefs and of course feasting on incredible vegetarian Maldivian cuisine.
I had such a great time and really felt as if it would have been the only way to truly experience the wonderful country. I am a little more than half way through my journey and I am starting to feel a little closer to home with each move I make. Next up for yours truly is the start my European leg .
