Transportation in the Maldives
First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong place - I really didn't know where to ask it! A couple friends and I are planning a budget trip to the Maldives this winter.
We were planning on leaving the Maldives on January 1 which falls on a Friday. Since we're not interested in private speed boats (way too much $$$), we're interested in more budget options such as ferries and passenger speed boats (I've heard they're not that expensive).
My problem is, it only just occurred to me that we would need to take transportation on Friday. I've heard some ferries (or all?) don't run on Fridays... a) is this true? b) is there a way around this without leaving a day earlier/later? c) do passenger speed boats have the same Friday rule?
I'm basically trying to figure out if we're going to have to leave a day later, because I want to get on that sooner rather than later if that's the case.
Thank you for any help!!!
