We are spending Easter weekend in Maldives a strict Muslim country while they are celebrating Ramadan. It is so very hot as we are sitting right on the equator. We tendered into Male the capital and spent 2 hours walking around in crowds on our own through a fruit and vegetable market as well as a fish market. Some tourist shops were open but not many and we couldn’t get in to the museum or the mosque. During Ramadan we couldn’t be seen eating food or drinking water. It was 92 degrees and the humidity was 78. We had to hide to take a few needed sips of water. After 2 hours we were spent and drenched in our own sweat so we tendered back to the ship and a shower.
