Honeymoon

My day rhytm is totally wrong, yesterday I fell asleep the first time at 6.30, but went finally to bed at 9, the day before at 8. And then I wake up around 6-7. Fun.

Our honeymoon was great. I was, for the first time in a long time, a bit sick during the trip. One day with high fever, and the last week with stomach problems. Then I also had problems with the sun, some places of my body could just not stand the sun and it was just itching.

But the island and the Maldives are perfect, like a true paradise. Totally. We had all inclusive so we could eat and drink as much as we wanted. The food was good and the resturants great, and in our part of the island, where our villa was, it was really calm and not much people at all.

Except swimming, reading books, lying in the sun, eating, sleeping and drinking we also did some great trips. The sealife is wonderful even if a lot of the coral was destroyed during the el nino years in the end of the 90s, but the fish. Wau. On our island there were baby sharks and turtles just around the island, and there was a great house reef with fishes in every color. We also did 2 other snorkling trips. On one of them we got the opportunity to swim with Manta rays, around 5-6 of them. And it was incredible. They came against us with their open mouth and then just turned close to us.

Another excelent trip was out fishing trip, Micke got the most fish. When the sun went down the fish started eating, I was not so good at fishing, suprise, but the guide got one for me. The next day the restaurant prepared our fish so we got to eat it. Free of charge.

Then we also went to the Spa, for a honeymoon indulgence treatment. It was perfect. First foot massage, then whole body massage, for me a balinese massage, then body wraps and in the end with a tropical coctail in a jacuzzi filled with flowers outside at a terrace over the water watching the sun go down. So perfect.

For a half day we also went to an empty sandbank, no other people, no contact to other people and just were for ourselves.

Yes, this is my short update on the honeymoon.

Honeymoon pictures.

Pictures and explanations of our honeymoon can be found here and here

Great news!!!

We all get 1 more week for handing in the bachelor paper. Wau. So great news. So good. But I still have to focus and work hard, today I borrowed a lot of books on econometrics. The new deadline is 22.3.

And I changed my name in Hanken. I am now Michaela Lönnblad, even got a Kela card on that today.

Will maybe later give a short honeymoon report, we did so much but still nothing. The weather was perfect, perfect. I was not great all the time, problems with the stomach and the sun (could not be so much in the sun as I wanted). And the flight was long, long, long.

Paradise

Bye, bye paradise. I am not that fat, just standing in a weird position with air under my blouse. Okay, maybe I am a bit fatter, but we had this all inclusive programme so we ate buffet food 3 times a day, and it was never only 1 plate.



Manta Ray. We swam with them. That was one of the highlights. They came really close with their big mouth open and then they just turned. It was amazing. (And Jade, according to Micke Manta rays can't sting, so maybe it was a sting ray that attacked you in Ecuador)

The most important things, water, croco and "nappar". And our sunbed in the shade.


First real day in paradise.

I walked barefoot for 12 days.

We are back

Tired, not able to sleep, it was just paradise. Loved it. Love Micke.

Honeymoon, here we come

This, on Kuredu, is where we are going to spend 13 nights. But first a long, long trip there.

No concentration

I can't concentrate on shoolstuff anymore. Just dreaming about our days at Kuredu (hotel at Maldives), picking up my lovely expensive ring today and so on. Eating fastlagsbulle.

I am in shool, pretending to do something, but I have decided I have come far enough, so when I come back I will have some busy 2 weeks. 2 weeks is a lot of time if you are concentrated, and I will be. I won't complain of being back in cold, wet Finland, I will just look forward for the summer (ohh, I don't have a summerjuob yet...) I will be tanned, married and live happily ever after.

The last row is sarcastic.

Shopping for honeymoon

I have been active, active today. Got around 4-5 pages written about theories on remittances, a lot of e-mails concerning the wedding written and I also did some honeymoon shopping, and also small scale packing.

I am sure it will be like in the nightmares when you forget everything you wanted to bring for the trip, so starting to prepare on time. Sunlotions, showerstuff, mosterising and so on. Also saw a pair of flip flops and remembered that my last ones broke down in costa rica and those i bought as emergency flip flops are so horrible I neve want to see them again. Realized those are probably the only good pair I find this time of the year, so bought them even if they cost 15 euros. A lot for flip flops.

I am going to remember my pasport this time as you can see.
