 | wander right round the tiny island.    |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on November 7, 2005 |
Last year when we visited maayafushi we couldn't walk all the way round the island because they were building new water bungalows,it was cordoned off,this year they have completed the new buildings,the water bungalows are quite spacious,personally i prefer the beach bungalows as the water bungalows seem so far away from the sandy beach,but i suppose if you are on honeymoon then they are just the job! |

He is a nice guy from Sri Lanka. I felt a bit guilty that I could not remember his name. We lived on the other side of the island. But he kindly let me get in the empty house above the water... which is much more expensive than our room :) That's why I could take the pic below ;) Thanks him and I will remember his nice smile forever... |

| Sunsets | | |

It doesn't matter where you are i the maldives... sunsets are always to die for. And every night they are differnt - significantly different. sometimes they are mostly orange and gold, other times the sky turns red like blood, and some more times you can see the whole palette of colours - from yellow to black - with orange, red and blue thrown in. |

| Do lots of walking ! | | |

Just strolling round the Island in your bare feet with the hot sun beating on you is lovely. Walking round the Island takes about an hour and you can just stop off at the bar for a cold drink or a quick swim in the shallow lagoon. Afternoons are so relaxing on Sun Island ! |

| SUNSETS Sunsets in Maldives... | | |
| | ||
 |  on August 25, 2002 |
SUNSETS Sunsets in Maldives are breathtaking. You just sit in fron of the hut, staring at the horizon, and see the sun sink while those little fishes jump in front of you and birds sing in the trees... Oh, I'm getting too romantic now!! |

| NO PLACE TO GO | | |

Officially the Maldives has no such place as off the beaten path. You would just fall into the ocean and be carried away by the tide. Get back on that sunlounger and get a beer now! You are not going anywhere for a week or two. It's the law - of nature. Click on the picture, 5 great views of the islands! |

| Discovering local animals | | |
| | ||
 |  on August 9, 2006 |
As already said, Velidhu island is small, but it has a very rich flora and fauna. Just enter the vegetation bushes and approach the luxuriant mangroves: if you pay attention, you'll discover a little universe of animals, such as the big lizard of the photo (sorry, I don't know its scientific name). Other animals you may encounter are for example jeckos, herons and enormous diurnal bats. |

| VERY HARD TO WANDER TOO FAR ON... | | |
| | ||
 |  on August 26, 2002 |
VERY HARD TO WANDER TOO FAR ON THIS ISLAND AS YOU CAN WALK ROUND THE WHOLE THING IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES. LOOK OUT FOR GIANT BATS HANGING FROM THE BRANCHES OF TREES DURING THE DAY, ALSO LARGE COLLECTION OF LIZARDS, AND LOADS OF HERMIT CRABS RUNNING AROUND LOOKING FOR LARGER OR NEW HOMES AT SUNDOWN |

| Sealife Watching | | |
| | ||
 |  on May 10, 2006 |
One of the great things about the Maldives is how brave the sealife creatures are. If you just stand on one of the jettys and peer into the water, especially in the evening time. You will see a vast array of creatures from all different varieties of fish, reef sharks, and rays. I found the best place to view these were on the Water Bungalows of the island |

| Beach Walking | | |
| | ||
| on May 9, 2006 |
While probably not much of a suprise. You will find that one of the best activities is just walking down the beaches. You can walk around the whole of sun Island in maybe an hour. Don't worry about finding it all too 'samey'...The beaches atround Sun Island are so varied, with one side being all secluded, quiet, and corally waters, with the other side being more busier, sun umbrellas etc. You'll be sure to capture loads of fantastic photos on this walk, so be sure to take your camera! |
