A year after our trip to Tahiti, we went to the Maldives for the first time for a week.

In those days, there were only a few travel agencies dealing with the Maldives, and the most popular one recommended this island. It’s named ‘Makunudu Island’, and has a group of just 37 cottages. It’s a small island that takes only 30 minutes to walk around.

Currently, we use Sri Lankan Airlines, but at that time, we were on Singapore Airlines, so there was a 6-hour transit at Singapore airport. I thought it would be too long, but Singapore Airport is so big that time passes quickly when you are shopping and looking around.

Also, it was our honeymoon, so we were feeling very light-hearted and happy-go-lucky.

When we arrived at the airport in the Maldives, a member of the local staff welcomed us. He spoke to us very fluently in Japanese! He has probably given the same talk to many tourists, so that’s why he was so amazingly smooth. We didn’t see him until we went back there because he was just working at the airport. So later on I thought he might be a bit bored.

We took a 40-minute speedboat ride and finally arrived at the resort island. There was a picturesque view! I was so enamored by the magnificent sight of the island when they served our welcome drink that I didn't hear anything they said. —————————
