Maldives
 



The sun dazzled and the waves danced. Little smudges of white sand and green land were visible in the distance. We wove in and out of the atolls, passing sailboats, dhows, dhonis and catamarans. Half an hour later we zoomed up to some thatched cottages on stilts in the middle of the ocean and a fancy palm tree resort. A tall white bird with long elegant legs stood on the sand to welcome us. And tall frosty drinks of grenadine and melon appeared.
