at Sea
One sea day and then we arrive in Maldives. Many islands in the Maldives and we will be tendering to Male’.
I’ve been doing lots of research on our stop to Seychelles. Our plan is to take a ferry after we port in Mahe’ to the island of Praislin and play golf. We will spend the night and then return the following day. I need to plan how we get to the ferry, when it leaves, and when it arrives. I did some research before I booked the hotel but didn’t do much on the ferry. There is one company who handles the ferry. The comments that I have read say that the employees are very rude and inconsiderate. The ride is extremely rough and there are employees that do nothing but collect vomit bags. I read this over and over on the reviews. The only other way is to take a plane. I have looked into that and we may decide to do that or we might also decide to tough it out. Maybe 85 days on a big ship has prepared us.
Tomorrow we have no tour. The island is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. It is not very large and we hope to see everything there is to see by walking.
