6:00 AM We began the day with a yoga session at Sol Rising.
7:30 AM After yoga, we walked to Melange for breakfast. Once we finished, we returned to our villa to take some final photos.
9AM We took a buggy to the Dive Center to pick up fins and a life jacket. Ali decided not to swim in the current leading to the sandbar, so instead, we visited Panorama Beach to capture drone photos. I swam out to the sandbar, but on the way back, I mishandled the wet bag, which caused my drone to overheat and emit smoke. It was toast.
11AM We returned to our villa, cleaned up, and began packing for departure.
12:45 PM Although we had been granted a late checkout until 1:00 PM, I requested and was given an additional 20 minutes to wrap up.
1:20 PM We left for the Junction to complete the checkout process and then walked to Melange for our last meal at the resort. I had a long conversation with the chef about the preparation of their omelets, savoring our final moments.
2:20 PM I stopped by Sol Rising to exchange some currency. A helpful worker called a friend who provided me with 5 Maldivian Rufiyaa. It took longer than expected, and I only returned to the Junction by 2:50 PM. I briefly chatted with the staff at the photo studio about CPL filters before heading back to Melange. However, Ali had already left for the Junction by the time I arrived. We boarded the speedboat shortly afterward, departing for another island, Kooddoo Island, which was just a 15-minute ride away.
4:30 PM We checked in at Kooddoo Island and continued our journey south before eventually heading north toward Malé.
7PM We arrived at Malé International Airport (MLE). Ali and I headed to the domestic lounge, where she rested on a couch while I wandered around. I found two Australian guests who had traveled with us from Pullman and invited them to join us back at the airport lounge.
9:45 PM We stayed together until it was time to pass through security. To my surprise, the Pullman representative remained with us right until we cleared security.
11:40 PM Our flight to Singapore departed, marking the end of our Maldivian adventure.
