During the Malé trip, we managed to go to two islands as part of the program – Hulhule and Vilinggili. Tapi ni program yang tak official la, kalau official apa jadahla aku nak ikut sekali. Menyibuk je.

Hulhule Island

Hulhule island is the airport island or also known as the booze island sebab sini boleh minum sambil mabuk.Dekat Malé memang tak dapatlah alcohol so to those who drink, they will go to Hulhule.

It took about 5-8 minutes to get to Hulhule using the dhoni from Malé.

hulhule islandIt is actually another hotel tapi dekat pulau ni takde orang tinggal, just for those yang nak tinggal dekat hotel je la.

Supposedly malam tu cocktail night tapi semua orang bantai duduk je sambil berbual.

But the food was not bad. I ordered water melon juice that taste so watermelon [unlike certain place yang tapaper] and the others took the advantage to have beer and such.

Nachos with avocado dip and onion rings

The dip was extremely nice, so does the onion ring. Bukan yang sliced onion ok but real onion.

Garlic bread

We talked and eat. Ok, they talked and I eat. Aku tatau apa benda yang diorang borakkan. Yelakan, katanya menyibuk komfemla tak paham apa benda yang diorang borakkan.

The hotel has a man-made beach tapi sebab masa tu malam adalah tak nampak.

hulhule beachThe rooms looked quite nice too cuma bising sikit sebab bersebelahan dengan airportkan. Sesikit dengar bunyi kapal terbang mengaum [mengaumkah?]

Lepas dah makan, dah jalan dan guna toilet [acara wajib bagi aku] we headed back to Malé.

This was when I realised aku adalah sea sick. Sebab dhoni tu slow and terumbang ambing, aku adalah nak muntah. Lembik betul budak ni.

Vilinggili Island

The next evening, we went to another island, Vilinggili for bbq. Macam Hulhule, Vilinggili ni dekat je. Tapi what made it interesting was to get to the jetty [jetty dia belah lain jauh sikit] we had to naik pick up truck dan duduk berhimpit dekat belakang since no heavy vehicles like buses are allowed on the island. Just like those pekerja belakang pick up yang aku nampak dekat Malaysia.

Berhimpit

It was surprisingly fun, memangla tak comfortable but it was fun to see how Malé look like in the evening sambil angin menyapa rambut.

At the jetty, we have to wait for few minutes for the dhoni to arrive. Masa untuk camwhore :P

Sempat lagi tu hehe

We were supposed to see sunset at Vilinggili tapi sampai pon dah lambat. By the time dekat sana hari pon dah malam. But that did not stop us dari melepak di persisiran pantai.

And the others were busy memasak [sehingga hangus haha]

vilinggili

There was also game. Main lari-lari apa ntah yang aku benci sebab motiffffffffffffff nak kene main game bagaiiiiiii. Tak boleh ke duduk makan-makan main air je? Main dia macam lepas lari dan target orang kene duduk atas pasir. As the result bontot aku penuh pasir. Sungguh tak selesa ok.

But at the end of the day everyone had fun despite kene main game tu [which turned out not so bad after a while]

Dah nak balik

Hopped in the jetty and got back to Malé. Rode on the pick up again to the hotel.

The girl is from New Delhi and she's funny. I like her

At the hotel the rest went to the roof top [pool] to have tea but I was kind of tired and he had some work to be done.

Tu jela pulau yang sempat di lawat masa dekat Malé. After hiswork-related stuff ended we headed to the ‘real’ island. And boy, how I wish to go back there.

    Hi Chics, I'm one of ur silent reader, i worked in one of the luxuriest resort @ Maldives for almost 2 years. I missed out reading ur entries on Maldives, if not leh recommend u on some great places to go before u leave that day :) Next time perhaps.

    Btw, they do have some nice restaurants in Male ie Thai restaurant (the best) + Italian. But true wat u said, most of their main cuisines are more on curry + tuna! But mmg dorang pakar buat roti2 ni cos obviously its their origin. I never had tosai before in Msia, but i did when i was there cos its super lembut! Its the best!

    I love HLH, I always pergi sana for a drink by the pool + tmpt berdating.. ;-) They served nice Msian's food too. owh owh!! u should try the Nasi Lemak in HLH – is the best!

    Cheers!
