Dentist - Ugh

Last night I developed a tooth problem & had to go to a dentist today - 1 ferry from hotel to airport ($80 RT), 1 ferry from airport to Male ($2 RT) & cab fare from ferry to dentist office ($6 RT). Fortunately the dentist was only $25 & my tooth is fine now! Above pic is of Male - capital of the Maldives. Interestingly the city occupies/covers an entire atoll - not much to it & above pic is the entire city atoll!
Male was deserted & mosy shops closed because it's Ramadan. But I DID find a grocery store where I stocked-up on mango/banana juice <- bottled water is $5 at hotel! Btw - so-so dinner buffet is over $70!
With tooth "fixed" I can now do some diving!
