Guraidhoo (November 2 – 4)

We arrived in Guraidhoo at 6:00pm last night. Again, the hotel staff was waiting for us by the ferry terminal to collect our bags and direct us to the hotel. We checking in to a small hotel, only 4 rooms, but the cleanest and nicest hotel so far in the Maldives. Solih, the owner, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

On November 2 we went snorkelling and due to strong current ended up on a resort in the island in front of Guraidhoo. We walked around the resort for a little bit and then worked on a plan to swim back to Guraidhoo. We walked to an area where we jumped in the water and used the current to swim diagonally. It was hard work but made it safely across.

While having lunch we met Lara and Irene, two Spanish girls also staying in Guraidhoo.

On November 3 we went snorkelling in bikini beach where we saw a school of rays. After snorkelling we met Carolina, Cristina and Alicia, 3 more Spanish girls that had just arrived in Guraidhoo. In the afternoon we went to have lunch with all of them.

There is not much to do in Guraidhoo so we met again with our Spanish friends for dinner.

On November 4 we left Guraidhoo at 7:00am. We arrived in Maafushi at 7:30am, our last stop in the Maldives trip.

Of course the hotel had somebody waiting for us by the ferry upon arrival in Maafushi. He picked up our bags and directed us to the hotel. We cheked in, took a shower and spent the day walking around the island and getting information about diving.
