Hello to everybody my dear unforgettable Da friends and also all the others people of the Sun all around the world
Now is around 4 months that I am living on a small island into the Indian Ocean.
Not so long ago I was always looking at all the touristic magazines with pics of this incredible place that are Maldives islands… but I was never even close to the idea that one day I will live an experience like the one I am living. First of all … forget hotels, forget pools, forget restaurants on the water or under.. if you are searching real Maldives.. if you are searching for yourself than maybe somewhere if you look good you will find an island like Bathala is.
I was curious to see the reef and all the fishes and corals and… most of all I associated Maldives with one of the most impressive beings in the world .. MANTAS
The real heaven here is underwater! Is something that take your breath away; thousands of different fishes, sea stars, corals, crabs and colors… breathtaking! And yes someone can say that Egypt have colorful corals now… but Maldives are now out of Ninjo which was a warm current that 9 years ago destroyed the reef… but now the reef is growing up new and will become once again the most beautiful underwater place in the world. Because here the water temperature is always 30°C, because here there aren’t dangerous sharks, because here the islands are small and the underwater paradise starts just 20 meters away from your bungalow
Is difficult to express in words what is about to meet a whale shark of 7meters in the sea or to swim free with a manta of 5 meters… hope one day I will find the words because those splendid beings risk to disappear while we are discoursing if the global warming is real or not… Maldives will disappear in 30 years for sure if the thing will go ahead with this speed…
I am very happy to be here, I am sad to see a lot of wrong decisions made from men here.
I am on an island without TV, pools, even warm water is warm only on sunny days? We don’t have more than one bar or one restaurant, we all wear Bermuda and T shirts and no shoes? all is natural and … sometimes I think that the time here has just stopped to run.
All we are the same, all we are enjoying to snorkeling around together , fishing, playing volleyball or just talking one to other for hours… and the night brings a sky full of stars and full of different thoughts.
For sure when this adventure will ends... Maybe looking back to some pics with a glass of good rum in my hand... I will cry some tears but with a big smile in my heart... Because that are things you have to live and Bathala like it is now is one of them – Priceless!!!
p.s. For all my Italian friends Bathala is sold from Azemar and is an all Italian village which sometimes is sold in special offer. It will remain like it is only for another 2 years... then will be probably rebuild into a luxury hotel achieving a lot of things but loosing it soul. If you were dreaming about a paradise... that is it!
Far away
I still dont have a new camera so from time to time I steal the resort canon G) compact to play with it and here are some pics... I want the new 5D!!!However I will soon post some old reedited and never seen pics on ...unlike Bathala here I have the internet conection so
