 Introduction:
Like a bird defying
gravity, the plane graciously glides down towards Male’ International Airport. A
glance out of the window and your heart skips a beat.
The magnificence of
nature slowly unfolds before your eyes. Sunshine embracing the green little patches
enclosed by pure white and surrounded by glistening blues, viewed from above truly takes
your breath away. A vision so unique that you can’t help but wonder if it is real.
Only nature could have painted a picture so perfect. Only nature in its unhurried motion
could have created such splendour as the Maldives.
The beauty does not
recede with the touching down of the plane. The little green patches transform into
graceful palms that gently sway to the cool breeze, endless  white
beaches with sand so soft that it caresses your feet, waters so clear that you see the
fish playing in the depths of the lagoons. The Maldives, a tropical hideaway, home to
about 270,000 natives and 1,350 different species of coral and fish. |
