Surprising Hulhumale
We planned to return to Malé to get our onward flight with a buffer day. Just to make sure that there were no boat delays (we heard during monsoon season, storms can cancel the boats completely) and to ensure we could do our laundry and sort our bags out before our flight to India. So…
