Save the Beach – The Maldives

After a final night on Dhigura we had another early start and a very quick breakfast at the guest house. We then caught the 2-hour speedboat all the way back to Malé. Although we still had things to do today and another night in another hotel on Hulhumalé it felt like the beginning of a...

Dhigurah – The Maldives

After another night of no sleep we had breakfast at the Antares Guest House on Dhangethi and then packed all of our stuff ready for a speedboat ride to the neighbouring island of Dhigurah. It only took 15 minutes before we slowed and entered the blue waters of the harbour. Once again, there was quite...

Dhangethi – The Maldives

After a bumpy speedboat ride from North Malé Atoll to South Ari Atoll we arrived at the island of Dhangethi and moored in the harbour. It was clear straight away that this was a local island and not a well-manicured resort. There was work being carried out around the harbour and development was taking place...

Malé Tour – The Maldives

After a couple of nights of luxury on the resort island of Bandos, our Maldives holiday continued with a speedboat ride back to Malé. Today it was hot, sticky and sunny as we arrived on the dockside by the airport. We soon met up with Zaff, our guide for the week and met the others...

The Maldives – Bandos Resort Island

After a long flight and arrival in the Maldives during a torrential storm, we were soon on board a speedboat for a 15 minute transfer to the island resort of Bandos. There are so many island resorts to choose from that it can be over-whelming. They all offer similar things but can range in price...

Off to the Maldives

It’s not every day that we have a holiday such as this, but it’s our 20th wedding anniversary this year so we thought it was time to save up and treat ourselves to the holiday of a lifetime in the Maldives. Most people that go to the Maldives, at least from the UK, tend to...

Chilly

It’s been kind of chilly here lately, but that’s nothing in comparison to where Morgan is. The forecast for tomorrow is -36ºC with a maximum during the day of -31ºC. Yep, I’d consider that as cold! Morgan seems quite excited by the prospect really! He still hasn’t got a job, but he has been purchasing...

Merry Christmas from Canada

Morgan was going to write some blog posts from Canada himself. I started them off for him and asked him to fill in some blanks but apparently, he’s not very good at writing about what he’s been doing. So, you’ll have to put up with updates from me rather than from Morgan himself. Things seem...

Messages from Morgan

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology we’ve been able to keep in touch with Morgan quite easily. He made it to Calgary safely and had a couple of days there trying to sort out some paperwork and a bank account etc. He then travelled to Banff and has been staying in a hostel there...

Off to Canada

Phew, that was a busy week. Morgan has decided to defer his places at university for a while and head off to Canada on a ‘working holiday’ instead. After a few weeks of sorting out flights, insurance, working visas etc. etc. it was almost time for him to go. So, last weekend we all went...
