The Maldives day 4 at The Adaaran Prestige Vadoo

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!

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Den Haag, Netherlands Part 3

Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff. I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil). Super tasty lunch! A stop at More Pastry for more treats - Peanut butter chocolate tart - so good! And the...
