More resort pictures

I try to keep the resort postings to a miminum on the official blog so it won't look like we are goofing off too much. Here are some shots of our "welcome" drink which was a Maldivian mocktail. The drinking tab can get pretty high here, with a double vodka and tonic going for $16. Better to stick to the beer ($4.50 on tap) and wine ($6). A big bottle of water is $3. Yes, you have to pay in dollars.
We knew that our room and boat transportation was complimentary, so we didn't mind spending a few bucks on drinks and resort activities. Little did we know that the Maldivians would eventually pick up the entire tab. We still don't know who exactly to thank, since several people had a hand in making the reservation.

We left a nice tip for Blue, the manager who took good care of us the entire time.
