Athuruga Island
On our way to Athuruga. View of Male, the smallest capital city in the world, from the seaplane. You can just see the southern
end of the international runway on Hulule island at the top left, and you can also make out the bridge being built by the Chinese to link Male and Hulule.
Another view of the huge Chinese bridge-building machinery, looking over the pilot's shoulder.
Coral reefs from the seaplane, clearly visible through several meters of ocean.

The new building on the beach, housing the watersports centre at this end, and the small new Teppenyaki Restaurant at the far end.

Our veranda.
Aaron, the resident heron, drinks from our foot bowl.
This completely tame, presumably hand-reared, lovebird had given me a shock at breakfast a few days earlier by suddenly landing on my shoulder.
