We went on the tenders into Male. It is the largest island in the Maldives and capital of the more than 1.000 islands. Male is very Muslim; in fact, no other religion is allowed to be practiced. There is a stone wall surrounding the island and there are no beaches. To get to the beaches on the other islands you take a speed boat which we did with our friends. We went to a resort and relaxed on the beautiful beach and snorkeled in the turquoise blue waters. Many of these tropical atolls have been transformed into luxury resorts and are visited by people from all over the world. Jumbo jets land in Male and boats go to the islands. The resort we visited had the thatched huts going into the water. I saw yellow striped fish and bright blue fish. The water was turquoise blue. What a paradise! We watched Male leave our sights from the Observation Lounge in the front of the ship.
