Chapter 12: Our Honeymoon (2)

... ..

I felt Jiang Li was really crazy, even on his ‘honeymoon’ he did not forget his exercise, he ran around the island lap after lap all morning and then came back to eat breakfast growing my contempt towards him profounder.

The hotel offered buffet breakfast, with a wide variety, but it was mostly western-style, there was nothing that could suit my palate. However, the fruits here were quite good so I just ate some fruits and pastries, drank junk drinks for the breakfast.

After breakfast we went to the pier along with several visitors to tour around the island. Bypassing the main island we went to nearby smaller islands to learn about the indigenous and native people and their lifestyle.

Maldives’s sea was very beautiful, very calm sea, giving the heart of people watching it a sense of liberty, openness. The vegetation on the beach, the villas and over-water bungalow coupled with clean azure water looked like a painting, serene and alluring. I kept clicking the camera button, photographing everything in order to not miss the beautiful scenery.

 

I have personally seen the beauty of Maldives and i assure u guys that the author isn't over-exaggerating about it's beauty

 

These days the natives of Maldives are also known merchants. There’re many local people who had opened up shops that sell some kind of souvenirs. They had lots of things to enjoy such as painted wooden box as well as small pendant made of shells and fish teeth. The shop owner was very enthusiastic in selling; I was feeling too embarrassed to refuse so just picked up a few pretty pieces….in any case somebody else had to pay.

After finishing strolling around various islands in the morning I was a little tired. But program after lunch was relatively exciting, which was-diving.

Jiang Li’s huge bird called suitcase was filled with sophisticated diving equipment as well as a diving camera which looked very professional.

Jiang Li’s silhouette quickly disappeared in the water. Beach water was transparent; could see things clearly about ten meters under the water. That being said, Jiang Li was submerged under more than ten meters of water. Exactly how many meters, how many yards was he under the water; not that I was impressed or anything! It would have been best if he kept submerged in the water and became a meal for the sharks and thus never came out again.


Compared to Jiang Li’s my costumes and equipment could be called shabby. My props included life jacket, snorkeling suit along with a shallow diving camera which were rented from the hotel.

 

 

In water from time to time the groups of small fishes, whose name I did not know, swam by. The majority of them had bright vivid color, beautiful appearance. Some fishes with more courage swam directly in front of me, turning a complete blind eye towards me. I tried to poke their belly with my finger but they dodged cleverly, really a bunch of cute little fellows. Inspired by them to play well, I tried to swim further ahead.

Within few moments of swimming ahead I saw the coral reef. Beautiful coral reefs with several different colors, standing thousands and thousands meters tall, providing a marvelous view.  Nature truly is a miracle.

Roamed around coral for a while, it was time to bid goodbye since a low tide was predicted but I could not bear to leave so I decided to come again next day since I had not seen enough of these coral reefs.

 

I looked at his computer screen and my eyes instantly lit: "This coral reef is so pretty, Ah! This fish seems to emit light, so beautiful, why didn’t I see it?”

Jiang Li explained from the side "These corals can move."

???

Jiang Li pushed my head away to protect his laptop keyboard from my drooling saliva and then said: “This is a soft coral, they can move.”

It was amazing, this was the first time I had heard that there are also soft corals in this world; I really wanted to see it, ah!

Jiang Li reading my mind, with a single sentence severed my idea: “With your standards, getting permit for deep diving will be quite difficult.”

Pursing my lips I brushed off his hand from the mouse and took control of the mouse to see if he had taken another pretty picture.

Five minutes later.

"Jiang Li, you only have taken these few pictures?" After taking great pain to look at the photos in his laptop there were only a few pictures of soft moving coral. Although these colorful soft corals were very picturesque, too beautiful but……weren’t these pictures just too little?

Jiang Li nodded his head in admittance: “Nothing else was worth shooting.”

Me: "Are you kidding, there must be a lot of fun things in the deep water, it’s hard to get in to that deep, such a rare opportunity.”

Jiang Li glanced towards my laptop screen, said: "I believe in photographing only precious treasure, getting a pile of garbage back what’s the point in that.”

Humph! I was getting angry, he’s trash!!!
