Дни 15-17. В 8 вечера загрузился в боинг-777...

Days 15-17. At 8 pm, he loaded into a Boeing 777 and after 70 minutes should be on Male. Emirates company pleased: fed, films in Russian, there is a joystick for games, you can watch cameras online from the head and tail of the plane, your legs do not touch the back (187 height), well, etc. (This is the most economical class). FlyDubai flew to Sri Lanka - there is nothing there and did not even feed). So when buying tickets, sometimes it’s worth a little overpayment. Behind the film I didn’t notice how they already sat down ... around the darkness. On the street +29 and humidity as in a sauna .. passed control, took off the Maldivian rufiyas and went to the water (the airport has no doors and walls at the exit) to search for a ferry to Male (the airport is on a separate island). Found a kiosk, a ticket costs 60 rubles. Ferries run like minibuses, one after another. Departed). Surprised by the transparency of water even in the dark! Then it was at the disposal of about 2 hours to go to the other end of the island (about 3 km) and find a vegetable ferry in the port, which was supposed to leave for the island of Todd at 0.00 nights. He came to the cash desk of the port, the cashier has round eyes, the first time he hears about vegetable steaming. He says that the next tomorrow morning at 9 am. I see through the fence there are cargo boats-jogging there. I ask everyone, no one knows. A guy comes up and starts to go with me all the ferries and ask everyone in his own language. Nobody is going to Todd .. gave him a piece of paper from a booking, there’s a phone number. I called and talked for a long time. It turned out that this ferry leaves from another port after 18 minutes. There are 1.5 kilometers there. He calls a friend and a friend of ours on two scooters with bags to this port)) We arrived, we are looking. Nobody knows or saw anything either. As a result, they found a place where he was, but he already dumped .. The guys called for a long time and found out something. They asked where to take us and left without even taking any money .. we would have started harnessing for strangers in Russia at 12 at night, solving their problems for no reason ?! And now we are alone in the port in the dark in the first hour of the night with summits .. we must look for where to sleep. Let's go where our eyes look to look for a room to sleep until 8 in the morning .. the city seemed to have died out. Everything is closed, you can’t even buy water .. and then some peasant notices us. Runs up and is interested in what we are looking for and how to help .. I say that you need to spend the night until 8 in the morning somewhere and inexpensively. He led us through the entire island, going to all places with affordable housing. At what everyone had to wake up. Everything is busy or the price tag is $ 75 (for 6 hours of sleep - beyond that) .. in the end, he took my backpack and said that he knew one more place along the way telling about the city .. they came, it was also busy .. The clock was already the second one in the morning. We said goodbye to our "guide" and went back to the port, where there will be a ferry at 9 in the morning. Although he advised to sail back to the airport to sleep. He didn’t take a penny, it even offended him. I was very surprised by the sincere benevolence of local residents. When we wandered around at night with bags, how many fishermen from the boat were asked how were we, where were we going so late and offered food to eat. The Maldives opened completely on the other side, the human one .. There is no water to drink, on the street + 29 .. it was completely by chance that some repair was going on in the store and we were able to buy two and a half tablespoons of water! We reached the port, ate the cookies from Sri, and settled on our chairs to sleep like homeless people (although why “how”?). At about 8 in the morning we went to the cafe for breakfast, bought a ticket to Todd (sail 67km) for 200 rubles! Drive with a change ... first 3.5 hours to the island of Rasdu. There, after a couple of hours, another ferry to Todd. Arriving on the first island was shocked by the color of the water .. thought that it can’t be so blue, it turns out maybe) Todd Island is the third largest in the Maldives, the locals grow vegetables and fruits. On the island as in a village: there is not a meter of asphalt (everywhere there is white sand) and only a couple of cars. All locals move on scooters. In the Maldives, Islam, when the service is in progress, all stores are closed. They accidentally found a bakery there, ate delicious pies with coconut and cinnamon (11 rubles each). Food in the cafe is not very expensive (tuna steak with rice 300 rubles). Very expensive vegetables (although they grow them themselves). With all the rustic color, the beach here is gorgeous !! The water is really blue and crystal clear, there are no waves like in a pool in any weather. 50 meters from the coast coral with a bunch of fish! Housing and good food in the cafe came out per day about 4000 rubles per one. Everything would be fine, but there are only Russians .. on the beach and in the guesthouse staff. Arriving in such a distance, I don’t feel like hearing Russian speech, and don’t speak calmly (usually no one understands anything). Well, whoever came across - will understand) On my birthday (February 14), they ordered a big cupcake in the evening, bought a chocolate nutella for the toppings, candles, papaya and all kinds of water / juices ... and went to the beach for sunset) The cake turned out to be delicious, but in a huge .. then they gave it to the guys on the beach with whom they came here on a ferry) They are tonight, by the way, on a vegetable ferry (the same one). And tomorrow at 7 in the morning I will go to another island for 3 days. Let's see what's interesting ... #maldives #male #thoddoo
