Olhuveli - a photo on Flickriver

Olhuveli

            Australia has some pretty nice beaches, but it's hard to go past the Maldives for sheer paradisial bliss. I'm escaping our winter cold by imagining I'm back there. So, as a public service announcement, here's how it goes:
 
You have had a hard day relaxing on beaches of the purest white sand, swimming in crystal clear oceans waters of the most beautiful blues and greens, watching clouds float past and imagining what you see in them (I usually see animals, real & mythological, particularly dragons) , eating in sand-floored open-air restaurants where thongs (known as flip-flops in other parts of the world) are considered formal wear. Yet, after all that hard work. you are still expected to walk all the way out on the walkway to reach your villa sitting above the Indian Ocean. Luckily you only need enough energy to roll over the edge to be floating in the warm waters of the inner reef. But if that's too hard, your own little private pool on your villa deck is closer, and bonus - you can leave your cocktail within reach.
Just thought I'd warn you of the hard work involved if you were ever considering a trip to the Maldives. You are welcome :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend !
