Royal Garden


Just when I thought I'd seen everything in this jam-packed capital city of one square mile, a new discovery. A restaurant operating in the former home of Maldivian kings, near the historic Islamic Center. The building dates back hundreds of years, and is hemmed in on three sides by cement hi-rises. It will probably be torn down, I'm told, unless the government steps in to save it.
