The most beautiful toilets -  check fish whilst sitting!

Our second last day took us to the 5star Six Senses Resort to see how the rich holiday. It was indeed a day for the rich. The boatride there was $150 for the 5 of us. Every price at the resort was double ours, which was double of what you pay in the shop!

It was a difficult day for Luc. He woke up vomiting and feeling very sick. We managed to get medication from Wolfgang and the hotel, but he struggles to keep it in. He survives the boat trip and when we get to the resort he falls down on the first couch and sleeps most of the day.

The resort is huge with 96 rooms but the layout is very cleverly done. Three "lines" of water rooms and then some beach rooms. We end up in the water chill area, which is a sundeck built over the crystal clear water with hammock beds floating over the water. The setting is stunning! The house reef is about 50 meters swim and is one of the most beautiful reefs we have seen so far. We see many parrot fish, a tune, a turtle and even a small barracuda.

Bonnie orders a Pina Colada without knowing the price - a staggering $ 18 plus 18% taxes and service charge.  Coke comes at $5 plus charges. During lunch we have the most expensive pizza and hamburger. R 250 each!

We wanted to get some Tshirts but at R 500 a shirt,I think I am going to print my own Maldive shirts when I am back in SA!

The snorkeling is so nice that we struggle to get the men out of the water for the boat trip back. There is a stunning sunset on the way back and we take some nice photos.

Great disappointed when we are downloading photos. Somehow we manage to delete most of the photos on our camera whist downloading them. SO we have a few photos of our trip to Six Senses.

We go to bed planning our next trip here. Luc has decided that he wants to stay in Six Senses - at the cheapest rate of R 8000 a night for a room (Bed & Bfast) I don't think this is going to happen!

We have a last dinner together joined by Harv and Jude. We laugh a lot at all Harv's stories.

TYRONE'S CORNER
Luc and Bonnie tries the icecream corner at Six Senses ($5 a scoop!!). Then we discover that all the toppings are free of charge. So Bonnie gets Tyrone to order another scoop and then instructs him to load the bowl with the free Smarties. The little spoon is too small and Tyrone puts his whole hand into the jar! It is hysterical! He puts so much in the bowl that Bonnie cannot finish it!
