The Maldives day 4 at The Adaaran Prestige Vadoo

By
Our third day was another relaxing lazy day for me. We got up and had breakfast then went to go back to our room, but they were cleaning so we hung out at the end of the pier until they were done. It wasn't windy so you could see all the fishes along the walkway!



So many fishes! And so pretty!




It might be hard to see (I think if you click the photo you will get a larger version), but there are lots of tiny black and white striped fish in the coral there. They were so tiny!



The end of the pier

The island from the pier - it was really small






Trying to get the difference between with and without my sunglasses...

We got back to the room and Raymond went snorkeling while I swam in out little pool!



His goggles kept fogging up so I searched for how to make it so they didn't. Ended up cleaning them with some toothpaste and that worked perfectly!

Here is a video from Raymond's time snorkeling - if you want read time photos as we travel you can follow him



I could spy on the fishes from the pool



Shark!


There were lots of fish by the steps into the water so I went down and actually put my hand in the water to try and take photos of them!

Didn't get them most of the time...

...but occasionally caught one!



Just putting my hand in the water when they were swimming right there (and the black, white, yellow ones would come up towards my hand) was a big step for me!


We swam/snorkeled until lunchtime. Some asparagus thing for Raymond 

And a salad for me to start

Smoked artichoke soup - delicious! The soups were always amazing

Pasta with red sauce for me

And cheesy risotto for Raymond

Afterwards we had some drinks in the bar

And watched the fish outside

Then back to the room for more snorkeling/swimming! Raymond took lots of videos of the fish while snorkeling, but I don't know what he is going to do with them. 





And a bit of reading in the pool








Sun going behind the clouds

Dinner was a green bean pomegranate other veggie starter salad

Gazpacho

Bread with oil and yummy spices to dip them in

And mushroom ravioli. Delicious! But so much food!

Then back to the room for the night. It was so nice to not have anything to do all day except relax! I miss the Maldives!

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma

The end

By
So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
