Mirihi Resort Island, The Maldives 2008

Mirihi Island in the warm Indian Ocean

An excellent house reef circles half the island

Water villas mean you sleep above the waves

Near the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island ( ex-Hilton )

 

White sands and the odd crab

Not much to do all day but relax and wait to be rescued

The big country

No finer a la carte restaurant can be found
