Maldives- Male
Arrived in Male the capital of the Maldives late last night. It was my first flight on the infamous Singapore Airlines and I have to say it was pretty fantastic!
Male sits on a tiny island, there are less than 100,000 residents. This morning Kingsley and I went for walk and ended up halfway around the island in less than 30 minutes. 
Very old graveyard, discovered on our walk
Our hotel infinity pool- we watched from the pool as a pod of about 50 dolphins swam by
We took a short boat ride from the airport to Male. I took this photo of the city lights from the slightly bouncy boat.

The Maldives converted to islam in 1153. The resorts are very westernized but the capital city is very conservative. 
Fish market- no need for a grocery store when you can buy your fish fresh off the boat. This is where the locals go in the afternoon to buy fish for dinner.
Lunch at a little cafe on the beach
