Day 23 - Seven Sisters Waterfalls

-
Today Poppy and I went for a Hike to the seven sisters waterfall. After night survey I had a couple hours sleep and then at 11am Poppy and I left the house to get the bus from Rose Hill to Grenville. We then got a bus from there to the water fall. When we got there we had to write our names and the time and got given sticks to use to walk with. The security guy pointed us to the track and we set off. It wasn't a very long track and it was quite a pleasant hike. We met two American tourist couples along the way. When we got there is was beautiful. Poppy went for a swim but I didn’t take my swimming costume so opted out. Another security guy there made sure we were okay and walked back with us to the entrance once we were done.

We then had to wait a while for a bus back, two passed us but were full, finally the 3rd bus squeezed us in and we went to Grenville. We stopped off to buy some snacks and then got the bus back to Rose Hill, managing to get the driver to drop us a bit closer to the house.

I was head chef today. The food shop is being done tomorrow so my options were quite limited, I made a vegetable noodle stir fry with potato chips as a side. We were going to have soft boiled eggs as well but Steph and I couldn’t be bothered to boil them in the end... we were too tired. Marina arrived at 18:00 ready for dinner. She’s 18 from Oxford and hoping to go to Uni in York to study interactive media in September. She’s staying for 6 weeks so will be here for my final three weeks with me. After dinner I chilled, had a few iced teas and might head to bed soon.

March has been a very busy month and again has absolutely flown by! This month we released one of our turtles back into the wild! Adam visited me at the beginning of March, and I did lots of snorkelling with hawksbill turtles and black tip reef sharks!

I started writing this blog on the first day of the new year. Back at this time last year I had no idea I would be bringing in the new year in the Maldives! But here we are! I've now been on Naifaru for a whole month! How time is already flying! Some highlights of my first month have been meeting and getting to know the turtles, snorkelling with a manta ray and taking samples turtle for an X-ray at the hospital!  I am living on Naifaru, which is the captial Island of the Lhaviyani Atoll (North of Male). It is a local island rather than a private or resort island so it is very conservative and we must have out Knees, shoulders and everything inbetween covered at all times. This mean we swim in leggings and rash vests most of the times, we are allowed to wear swimming costumes and bikinis when we go on excursions to uninhabited islands though.  I left the UK on the 14th December, only two months after leaving Ascension Island.

My second month in the Maldive's has been as busy as my first! My work in the marine centre has been very varied but very similar at the same time. I've become a lot more confident in my role, but still feel like I'm very new and am learning every day. Mornings every day are spent mostly in the centre with the volunteers doing morning centre duties and the afternoons consist of a range of activities with volunteers or daily admin I have to complete. Recently we welcomed Karen to the team as the other Marine Biolgist, she has just joined mid February and I'm looking forward to sharing some of the workload with her!  I've included some of the highlights of the end of January and then February below: On the 19th January we hosted a community beach clean, 60 members of the community joined us included many of the local scouts which was really lovely!  At the end of January we recieved one adult turtle admission. A hawksbill turtle found floatin
