One Way Ticket

(Well keep going east till we’re home)

Chilling out on Omadhoo Island in the Maldives

I hope we always remember that when the urge to visit a beach with aqua clear water and with warm air and water temperatures there is an advantage to making that visit in a non-alcoholic Muslim country. We have no desire to “do the beach scene”, i.e. party in Margaritaville. Here on Omadhoo there is a tourist beach where bikini swimsuits are legally permitted but nudity is illegal. Wearing swim attire anywhere but on the beach is prohibited by law. As a consequence of these restrictions, the beaches are quiet and tourist families are here. We are more comfortable here than in the usual beach party locations. However, we do miss drinking a beer for rehydration purposes.

Sign says “Tourist Beach” in three scripts
This is the beach we go to the most which we referred to in our previous post. There is usually a breeze and shade from the direct sun. It is not the tourist beach but a small public beach very near our guest house.
There are usually quite a few crabs on the beach in front of us. They are quite entertaining .
This is the freshly swept street in front of our guest house. There are no paved roads on the island.
We call this Main Street.
These vehicles are electric.
The only traffic circle on the island
This photo shows one of the few 4 wheeled vehicles on the island. Most have two or three.
