There may or may not be a tear (or two) in my eye & a semi-permanent smile on my face. This dreamy, elusive location has held the #1 spot on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. Euphoria has suddenly taken over my body & transported me to another world.
Altogether there are 1,192 islands in the Maldives, of which only 198 are inhabited. They are grouped into 26 atolls (chains of islands grouped together where the volcano rims caved in) and seemingly endless places to explore.
I had the best of both worlds…… 6 days by sea & 3 days on land:
- Sunbathing & letting my thoughts wander on deck
- Snorkeling to my hearts content amongst the breathtaking coral reefs
- Reveling in the beautiful & abundant wildlife below shorelines
- Enjoying my nightly dose of sunsets
- Walking aimlessly on random sandbars that popped up at low tide
- Wading in my own overwater bungalow pool
- Paddleboarding slowly & without a care in the world
- Floating in the beach bay for hours
- Strolling along the tropical grounds of the beach resort at night
- Sipping a freshly made, different tropical juice every day
A dream? Absolutely.
Dreams are meant to be slightly out of reach, but also attainable. Some may be big, while others could just be simple things. Keep dreaming……
