Summer Island Resort, a surprising stop over, Maldives

It was quite a stormy day for our departure.  As when the sea plane reached the outskirt of North Male Atoll (where the airport is situated), the plane suddenly descended in a big turn.  After the sea plane stopped at this island, the pilot announced that the weather in Male Airport wasn't suitable for landing.  So we had to spend around 30 minutes for a "complimentary" stop.
Later on I found out not just me who wouldn't go for the popular forums or digital era, there are some resorts which would stay away from the popular internet booking sites.  This resort is the one.  I was surprised that how come I didn't know about this resort from all those Agoda or hotels.com...etc.  So those self-conceited digital giants should think about it before they often claim that everything is digitally-driven.  The iron truth right in front of my eyes - always an exception.  I'm happy to continue my "Minority" report.

Thanks to the storm otherwise you may never discover this Agoda/digitally exempt nice resort.

Sometimes when some people complained about the rain or the sun. Some even related it to what God gave them. However, when we pull back ourselves, when in a minute, if there is some sunshine, person A would think God gifted them sunshine. In the same time, person B would think why God didn't shelter them from such sunshine when they need the shade. That's why I don't think we should often expect something to happen in our favour. Good or bad is on how we see the situation in our senses.

You are absolutely correct Sea.
It all depends the way we see things.
Just change one angle our view may be totally different.

BTW, this resort is quite crowded but just I avoided having them in the frame as a manner of respect.

You are very good at taking pictures Sea.
As I cannot tell this is crowded under your lens.

Just when you take photos in between groups of people. :)
