Views around the island. 

Vilamendhoo from the air out of our seaplane window.  North to the right.  The two jetties on the south side to the left.  Note the lack of beach at the NE side.  The architects have done well to hide all the buildings from sight in amongst the trees.

Beach on the south-west side.  Note the air tanks beside the blue bench at the left - shore divers have left the tanks there for later collection by the dive centre staff.

Next to the dive jetty.  The watersports centre has a couple of hobie cats and some windsurfers.  The dive centre is just beyond the cats, hidden in the trees.
