Link: the road ...


Hello ...
Had to make a one day trip to Addu Atoll ...
Had to get some work done in the south ...
I've been to Addu a couple of times ...
Starting early last year ...
Each and every time I'm there ...
It never fails to amaze me ...
Bee-yoo-ti-ful place I tell you ...
Really it's a very kewl place to visit ...
Absolutely fascinating …
Islands linked by cause ways …
Small uninhabited islands …
Dotted along the main road …
The laid back life style …
And of course the famous/infamous link road …
All 12 km of it …
It's almost a tradition to be on this road …
At around 1800 hrs …  everyday of the week …
Lots of people out for a stroll at that time …
If you know what I mean …   hehe …
And yes …
The late evening bike ride along link road …
It's a 15 minute fast ride from end to end …
Civilization on one side …  the ocean on the other …
Some time so close …  you can almost …
Drag your foot in the ocean …  while riding …
A cool salty wind in your face …
Something happens in those few minutes …
The kind of thing that makes you …
Scream out that you are alive …
The sudden realization of being more than alive …
And the people you think of in those few minutes …
Makes you wanna do something about it …
Addu …  a good place …  A different place …
Been there …  done that …  need to do it again …
Great that some our friends …  who we grew up with …
Are from addu …  and I tell you now …
Guys …  cool place you got there …
The place has got prospects ... I am sure !!!
Laterx ...

Yeah, I know ...
It was a figure of speech ...
Wasn;t meant to be literal ...
Let it go ... :)
