So true! Looking back at all the #sunsetsky we enjoyed in the Maldives. Back to the grind now. 
I shall pick my throwback series again, now that India is experiencing a severe second wave and it’s best to postpone non-urgent travel plans.

I went diving 🤿 after more than a year’s gap. I went diving 🤿 after more than a year’s gap. After the first 5 minutes, it all came back. Easy dives, ones wreck site and second a shallow coral area. Lots of small fish 🐠 in and around the wreck and some small turtles 🐢, a couple of lobsters, a black octopus 🐙 and a moray eel sighting at the second dive site.

Even though I have been #scubadiving only for 6 years, it’s evident what is happening to corals around the world. The corals close to Male are almost dead. 😳😕

Growing up in a vegetarian family, I never thought Growing up in a vegetarian family, I never thought adult life would be so experimental in terms of food. Crab for the first time!!!
If you have to eat crab 🦀 for the first time ever, no better place than @ministryofcrab!

What an adventure learning how to crack open the shell and pry out bits of sweet meat. The pepper sauce and the garlic chilli sauce were superb, as was the garlic bread that we ordered with the crabs. Swipe to the end to see a video of my daughter looking at a massive live crab 🦀.

D for Dubrovnik! . Touristy and cliched in parts D for Dubrovnik! 
.
Touristy and cliched in parts it may be, the old town of Dubrovnik is also charming and one of my favourites. Walking the walls of the old town makes you feel why this was chosen as one of the most popular GoT locations.
