The Maldives day 5 & 5 1/2 at The Adaaran Prestige Vadoo

I woke up on day 5 to find I was all alone in the room. I couldn't find Raymond so I went to investigate and he was laying outside reading! I am loving that he actually reads books now so we can be traveling and reading and it is wonderful!! No more bugging me when I am trying to finish my books! 

We went to get breakfast and it was another Indian breakfast. So so delicious! I loved it!

"Take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time"

After brekkie we had to wait for them to finish cleaning our room again

So we hung out at the end of the pier again. Raymond went snorkeling most of the morning, but I was super sleepy so I just lounged around

Lunch! German potato salad

Fajita veggies for me

And a mushroom masal thing for Raymond

Then back to the room for more lounging around. 

Bird on the steps next to us saying hello







Raymond is so silly










And the sun went behind the clouds again


Man wouldn't it be amazing to live somewhere where this was your view every evening??

Gorgeous!

Dinner was fancy salad

Minestrone and bread

And lasagna. Yum!

Then we walked around a bit to look at the Christmas lights. Every day more and more would go up

The island from the pier 

The next morning we were off to our next resort! We had to be up early to get brekkie and transfer, but it all worked out. We saw a sing ray from the deck

And tried to stick our hand in the water and take a photo of it without disturbing it, but as you can see it didn't really work. 

He just hung out there till we left. 

We had Indian breakfast again since we didn't know how long it would take to get to the other island and it is a ton of food


In the restaurant they had this gingerbread display. 

After breakfast we were off! I really enjoyed our tiny island with not much to do even if everyone treated me like I wasn't there. It was beautiful and lounging on the beach/in the pool/on our deck was so relaxing. Next up resort #2

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
