Arrived at 8.45 pm : Velana Airport, Hulhule

Perasaan excited nak g maldives tu xyah citer la kan.. happy sgt..konon nk g pulau tercantik di dunia..cuma sedikit rasa "kenapalah AA xbuat flight siang..kalau ada flight siang, kan dpt tgok pulau2 yg cantik dr atas awan.." . Mmg xda pilihan, flight mmg pergi pun malam, balik pun malam..huhu

Tiba jer di Velana A/port, dah ada kereta dari hotel Vilurest dtg pickup kami.. perjalanan hanya +- 10 minit nak ke Vilurest Hotel di Hulhumale

Driver nya bkn local people maldivian tp Bangla.. mmg bersepah pekerja bangla kt maldives..

w/pun kami sampai mlm, tetap dihidangkan dgn welcome drink ala2 air tropical yg sedap..hihi sy kata kt husband.."beriya kita kata sedap, ntah2 dia guna sunquick hat tropical fruit ja kot hihihi"

Waktu check-in, sy serahkan dokumen booking dr Agoda yg sy print siap2.. ahaaa.. sy sgt teliti bab ni sbb sy takot diorg xdpt rekod kita dh bayar ke x bilik hotel tu..jd sy print resit bayaran dr laman web agoda siap2.. Means that sy sertakan :

1. Confirmation booking from agoda

2. Receipt payment -print dr agoda(yg dah potong siap kad kredit sebelum perjalanan)

Mlm tu lapar turun cari mkn kt cafe sebelah2 hotel ja..pekena capati..

REFRESHMENT DRINK.. TETAP DPT W/PUN ARRIVED DAH MLM.. TQ VILU REST..

W E D N E S D A Y - D A Y 2

Hati sang isteri gundah gulana, asyik tengok tingkap ja sbb dok tunggu bila hujan nk berhenti...uwaaaa.. waiting from early morning, hujan + angin kuat tak membenarkan kami turun ke laut atau jalan2 di kawasan sekitar. Lunch kitorang masak sendiri nasi dengan sambal sotong segera. Alhamdulillah kenyang dan jimat hehe.. ptg sy ajak jugak husband jalan-jalan naik local bas pusing hulhumale. It is quite an experience. actually x rasa weird sgt sbb local people mcm org india kt malaysia jer, n ramai bangla jadi pekerja diorg..

Keluar jalan2 jugak tepi pantai dlm hujan

keadaan barisan hotel yg lebih kurang sama size sama pattern di sepanjang pantai di hulhumale

vilu rest hotel.. hotel comel murah tp bersih dan friendly staf (serius better byk drpd Maafushi Inn di Maafushi huh..)

Byk sgt barang buatan Malaysia

everywhere ada logo ni

Perumahan diorang di hulhumale .. byk blok mcm ni tanpa perlu berpagar pun ..

ini grocery mall yg terbesar di hulhumale agaknya.. kena jalan kaki ke kawasan perumahan diorg baru jumpa mall ni

an open space surau

cantik kan sekolah diorang.. turqoise color

Kami decide utk habiskan sepetang kami kt hulhumale pusing tengok local culture. Kami naik local bas. Murah jer, 3rufiyaa jer, tp make sure kita tukar duit notes yg ada jadi duit syiling. Kami tukar kt kedai runcit beli air minuman, bgtau kt cashier tu " we need coins" hehe.. baik hati cashier tu tukarkan byk coins utk naik bas. Nikmati gambar2 menarik sepanjang perjalanan kami pergi dan balik naik bas..

ONE OF THE MENU AT SHELL BEAN CAFE NEAR VILU REST HOTEL IN HULHUMALE..

** bocoz of very good feedback and 'a must try cafe' in maldives.. sy punya la kejan my husband to find this "SHELL BEAN CAFE" jugak2.. actually, from my reading in famous blogs bout maldives, most people lepak at shell bean cafe at male town.. kt hulhumale pun ada jugak sebenarnya.. dah famous cafe ni.. so dont get confuse ya.. u all can have ur coffee at SHELL BEAN either at Hulhumale or at Male .. but maybe kat Male Town more havoc and happening and pening kot..hahaha
