Day 23: MALDIVAS (DIAMONDS THUDUFUSHI BEACH BUNGALOW) - MALÉ - DUBAI

Saturday, July 13, 2013

Today is our last day at Maldiva's Islands and we are not going to deceive you if we say that we have not little, but much morriña just thinking about it. And with this last day, it is also time to leave ourhotel in Maldives.
Sri Lanka for us has been a great trip, but to combine it with these days in Ari Sud in the Maldives It has been a privilege. And what can we say about our hotel in Maldives, the Diamonds Thudufushi: awesome!
It seems that yesterday was the day we arrived at the Water Villas and we were left with our mouths open, impressed with everything we had around us.

The rhythm in Maldiva's Islands and in the Diamonds Thudufushi it is different from the rest of the places where we have been.

Yes, it is true that in this part of the world, the rhythm of life is contemplated under other measures, but here, especially, everything is extremely careful and dedicated to the "guest."
The hotel in Maldives Its special purpose is to make you feel at home.
Some of these days we have noticed even the waiters, it is incredible how they attend all the tables in their right moment, but in no case do you see them stressed or running ... it seems that they are enjoying what they do and have that gesture on their faces that It doesn't allow you to stress yourself for anything.
One of the things we take away from this trip to Sri Lanka and Maldives It is the conviction that we are very fortunate to be able to do this and live on what we really like to do.

Walks in the Diamonds Thudufushi. Hotel in Maldives

Today, even if it's the last day we spent in the Maldiva's Islands, we do not miss breakfast and after charging energy to face the return home, we spend the morning dedicated to take the last rays of sun and take the last walks on the island of Thudufushi and of course, to enjoy our hotel in Maldives.

Last hours at the Diamonds Thudufushi. Hotel in Maldives

Being already the last day and looking at everything with the perspective of the experience, we have to say that for us the combination of 2 nights at Water Villa and 3 at Beach Bungalow has been perfect, although we have to admit that we liked the experience much more of the Water Villas, so if we are ever lucky enough to return, it is very clear that we will extend days of accommodation in them ...
The issue of choosing a resort in Ari Sud and having to make the seaplane transfer has also been a success, because the experience has been fantastic.
Apart from the All Inclusive, which, like the rest of the elections, has been the best option for us.
The truth is that these are the 3 things that had emphasized us the most that we did not do or did not recommend us and yet, for us it has been a success.
We can do nothing but recommend especially what has been our little paradise these days, our hotel in Maldives, that although we know that there are hundreds, Diamonds Thudufushi, will be a name that we will never forget.

We take the last walks on the beaches of the Diamonds Thudufushi, knowing that it is the last hours we have left to continue enjoying paradise so before eating we return to our Beach Bungalow, which has allowed us to occupy it until the last hour as a courtesy, to finish Finish the backpacks and leave everything ready for when they come to look for them.
Before eating, to follow the habits that we have contracted since we arrived, we go to the beach bar to have a drink and refresh ourselves a little and after 2 pm, we will eat at the Beach Restaurant.

Last buffet at the Diamonds Thudufushi

Today we take the table with more peace of mind if that is possible and after the second coffee and seeing that it is almost 4 in the afternoon, we return to the Beach Bungalow, now yes to collect all things.
There are a few minutes to 5 in the afternoon and we go to the reception of the Diamonds Thudufushi, where we already see some couples more than like we have time on the seaplane that takes us to Malé back home.
The farewells are never good or pleasant and less when it comes to the farewell of paradise, so while we are crossing the walkway that takes us to the dhoni, we look back, first to what was our Water Villa and then to our Beach Bungalow , waiting, why not, see them again on another occasion ...
Now the nerves we have are not the same as we had the day we arrived in Malé, now we have those tickles that already announce that we are returning home and from now on we have to remember one of the most incredible trips we have ever made.
The transfer by seaplane from the resort to Malé we do it perfectly, in time and without bad weather and we return to fly over incredible landscapes, which leave us with our mouths open again.

>"Seaplane transfer from Diamonds Thudufushi to Male

As the seaplane approaches the Male airport we cannot avoid feeling a certain disappointment at not knowing the capital of the Maldives, but we can not fool ourselves and say that the change of being able to be almost a full day more at the resort, we have not liked more! 😉

Approaching Male

As we fly over Male and see the population density of the island, we are more impressed.

We began to see Malé in the distance ...

Male

We pass through the landfill and look at each other, thinking about the difference from one place to another ...
Although we cannot help thinking that unfortunately, for one thing to exist, the other cannot disappear.

Flying over Male

Male airport runway

We reach the area of Male airport where the seaplane leaves us and we pick up our backpacks to ride us back on the bus that will take us to the aircraft terminal, from where we will embark to Dubai, which will be our stopover before arriving in Barcelona.

About to merit !!

We arrived in Male!

Male airport

We have a little less than 4 hours left until our plane leaves, but for time and especially because it is already getting dark, we decided that the visit to Male will have to wait for another occasion, so we take the opportunity to take something, since once You pass the controls, inside the billing room, although it seems a lie there is not a sad place to drink something.

Waiting at Male Airport

In the Male airport We spent this last hour checking some emails and why not say it, thinking about new destinations until after checking the backpacks, we pass the controls again and we enter the famous area “no man's land” where we find many souvenir shops, bars… etc .

Male airport

Before moving on to this area we see again that tourism in the Maldives It is quite uneven, we have from the honeymoon, which are the majority, loaded with their newly released suitcases, to immense groups of Chinese who practically occupy the entire airport ...
And let's not forget the hordes of Japanese that turn whiter than they came because they don't get in the sun.
And then we are, a combination of many others, that although we always preach that we do not like to travel with labels, this time we have not been able to avoid putting them on others ...
We embark on time to Dubai and just sit on the plane, we look at each other knowing that now the time has come to return home ...
We are in the last hours of our trip to Sri Lanka and Maldives…
