Indian Ocean-Maldives-Male
Just back from my trip now , so can update . Starting off in the Maldives. Stayed on South Ari Atoll, but also spend a full day in Male the small capital which looks like Manhattan from the sky.

| This is the Post office at the airport . It is open 24 hours !! I think this is the first Post office I have seen that. However when I arrived it was closed for one hour. So I guess the staff have to eat .. lol.. There are presentation folders with stamps on one side which includes some sets. Other then that, on sale via a book is individual stamps and miniature sheets. You wont find sets. Also no order. The staff do not know issue dates. But otherwise an attractive office with a good selection of postcards for sale |

| Very friendly Post staff |

| The Main Post office in Male itself . Despite notices no real Philatelic section . Post office is a little chaotic . I did not buy any stamps there. |

Great blog! There are 24 hour post offices in quite a few places... especially Eastern Europe. For example Warsaw is 24/7. Also I think one in Paris is open nearly 24h, near the Louvre.
