Last day for the Americans 1/23

Many people commented on how we are the only Americans on the island. We proceeded to tell them that it takes two days to get here, plus a lot of Americans don't travel, much less to a Muslim country. There are lots of Chinese but Russians, Germans and French as well. We pretty much had the resort to ourselves since the Chinese hide during the day. 

Andy snorkeled and I read since the back of my legs are burned. The east side of the island was too windy so we went back to the chairs outside our room where we snorkeled yesterday. I'm pretty sure I'm the whitest person here. Don't these chain smoking Europeans know how bad cigarettes and sun is for them?! 

Andy said his snorkeling adventure wasn't great due to current and low viz but he saw a turtle!! Jealous!! I took another nap while he was out. It's amazing how easy it is to nap here. No alcohol needed. I wrote a review for the resort because it's fantastic, the dive center always needs a good review, and I'm over people who complain about dumb shit. 

We went back to our usual seat for dinner to watch the sun set and take in all this island has to offer before our early departure. This last week has been so amazing and we feel so lucky to be able to come here. Right place right time?! We had the sashimi one last time and the fried tempura. Then we paid the bill. A weeks worth at a resort plus scuba and snorkeling? We prepared for the cost, we paid a grand less than expected? OK, pay and then leave- quickly. Tomorrow will be uneventful (if we are lucky). We leave here at 6:30am, leave Male at 9:30am, leave Delhi at 2am then arrive Zurich 6am. Good thing we are well rested!!
