Visit to Huvadhu Atoll …


Hello ...
Last week ... it was hectic alright ...
Had to fly out to Huvadhu Atoll ...
Traveled all around the atoll ...
The weather wasn't so good ...
And the ride around the atoll was very tiring ...
The trip is gonna be unforgettable for 2 reasons ...
One ... the ride was so bumpy that ...
I hit my head hard on the launch door jamb ...
And got a cut right on top of my head ...
The cut was so bad i had to get a tetanus shot ...
Luckily, not so much blood was involved ...
Second thing was ...
I somehow managed to stop by my mum's island ...
My mum is originally from this atoll ...
Though it has been a very long time ...
Since she has been there ...
I stopped by the island for 15 - 20 mins ...
Had coffee with a cousin of mine ...
He told me that I was the only one ...
In my family who has not been there ...
And he was very happy that ...
I've finally managed to come ...
The feeling was mutual ...
I was happy to be there too ...
Kinda felt weird ... mixed feelings ...
A mix of alienation and a feeling of belonging ...
Dunno for sure ... have to give it a bit more thought ...
Laterx ...
