1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #594 - Male, Maldives

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #594
 
- Male, Maldives

 
(Male, the capital city of the nation of 400,000 people spread over 1200 islands, is a hive of activity. As expected, the fishing industry around the harbour is buzzing - with blue and yellow-fin tuna being brought in by the boatfuls, as seen at the fresh market here. We came at a time when elections were happening, with political flags gracing many buildings. Though an emergency decree was issued by the ruling government in February, life was moving on as normal now in September. To get from the airport to our hotel, it requires a ferry ride across the sea, with the ferry moored right from the airport itself - so unreal)
