MALDIVES

So fantastic from the air we flew around doing the tourist bit with everyone looking out of the windows for half an hour before landing in a rather non-military sort of way. Water is so clear it’s difficult to see where the edge is from the air. Fantastic swimming pool blue further out. Built up islands have walls to keep the sea out. Nothing is more than a few feet elevation. Palms, sand, coral this is the ultimate beach holiday but there is nothing else to see. The islands are tiny, everything is hideously expensive, particularly the water taxis between islands.
Mikes tips:- Only go here on holiday if you have a very high boredom threshold and loadsa money.
