Today, we have a fifteen-minute ferry ride at 1615 from Gulhi to Maafushi, as we move our base over for the next three days.
We had a 1h morning swim after breakfast, before checking-out at 1200. We killed 2h at an elevated seaview café by sharing a lunch. Then, we killed more time at the hotel lobby. Time went relatively quickly though.
It seems silly that we built our day around the 15 min ride instead of pay for a speedboat transfer around 1300, for example.
The ferry ride was the same as from Male, further away. It appears to be a flat MVR22 (USD1.50) per ride regardless of length.
At Maafushi, the Rehendhi Villa didn’t meet us but I kinda knew the way there so it wasn’t too much of a biggie. Boo had booked the hotel with half-board. The dinner wasn’t flash with the chicken being hacked Chinese-style with bones.
Regardless, it was a filling meal and we walked off our dinner by exploring the island.
Beachfront dining.
