What comes to my mind when I think about the beach? For me beach is place where you can do anything that make you feel relax and forget all about this crazy and busiest world. One of the beach I like the most is in “ Maldives”.
Last summer 2010, I have got a chance to get away from work. After being on a long night flight, the plane has arrived and that was not just yet, I still needed to take a speed boat to get to the island which was about 45 minutes away from the airport. I almost went to sleep in a speedboat but the big waves and the darkness made me more exciting and dizzy while I was praying to reach the land safety. After reach the island I found myself a room and already too tired. I gave a bellboy little tip and went straight to that white soft bed without bother myself to take a shower or even brush my teeth.
I woke up at 7:00 am in the next morning and wondered if someone was trying to shake the room. I looked out the window, It was a bright sunny morning! I immediately stood up and walked out to a little balcony and looked around. I just realized that I was in the water… my bungalow was in the water! I walked down the stairs and saw tons of friendly fishes trying to say hello to me. I closed my eyes and asked myself if this was real or just my imagination. The answer was yes, it was real. I packed my essentials and got myself ready to go out. I didn’t bring a lot of "swim gear", but I did manage to find some cheap staffs from the hotel. I started to walked along the beach. It was quite and relaxing I could hear soft music in the background of the sea. I was amazed at the view of beautiful sandy beach with a clear blue sea! It was like paradise! As I found a nice spot on the beach next to the palm trees, I put my beach mat and get ready to the water. With the sun shining on me, I smiled and felt like I was living in another world. I walked towards the waves of the sea and couldn’t resist the temptations to swim in this crystal sea. I hopped into the sea to played with those friendly blacktip baby sharks, color parrot fishes and some others for hours until I got tired. I came back to the same spot at night to sleep on the hanging bed that tied between the palm trees and enjoyed looking at beautiful full Moon and stars. Well I told myself under the moon this was I wanted a simple life with nature not a luxury life with a busy world.
After 5 days of wonderful trip I had to go back work and I still missed Maldives a lot. There are many stunning shots I took from Maldives to show friends and family how beautiful it was, but I believe those photos are only be a part of your journey story to Maldives. What about the taste of the foods, the smell of fresh air, the new creatures you have discovered or even the enjoyment of taking to different people are something that you could not describe in the photos they only exist in your own memory.
