We went to the Maldives and Dubai.  The Maldives was total and utter paradise...a waterfront bungalow with steps down into the ocean, where you could go for a swim before breakkie...walks on the beach where sometimes your footprints were the only ones on the beach...breathtaking sunsets...beautiful food, fabulous staff....snorkelling, kayaking...it was sheer heaven.

 

I want to go back

We went to Tunisia, and spent a lot of our time with two Tunisians we got friendly with. They took us to various family celebrations, and to several local cafes and restaurants that we would never have found on our own.  We also had a couple of memorable days where they took us out by train to some of the major sites; they chose times when the tourist trips wouldn't be there, and we had everywhere to ourselves.  We went back to meet up with them a few times over the years.

Sounds amazing Temps....I caught a holiday show on The Maldives. some of the rooms were actually built in the sea, looked like they  were on stilts,  Did you have to get a small plane to your island,

Yeah, we were out on stilts and we got the water taxi to the island, well kind of,  they dropped us off on a platform in the middle of the ocean and a boat came out to collect us.  They were the propeller type water planes like you see in the Bond Movies

 

It is as close to paradise as I'm ever going to witness...when you look out and it's just ocean as far as you can see...and it's that turquoise blue you see in the movies, and the pure white sand.  We always say we're going to go back, but we couldn't afford butlins this year never mind paradise

 

It was actually a recommendation we got from a former C4 member that helped us decide to go (caxwell).  He had stayed on the same island we were thinking of going to and highly recommended it

Total paradise!!

no way!   We went to Kuramathi

I've just looked at Kuramathi...   its very very similar to Medhufushi...   same kinda size (small)... exactly the same bungalows etc.

 

I got sidetracked looking at the "Renewal of Vows" packages

Medhufushi was pretty much a child free zone!  (no restrictions on kids...  just not that kinda island).

 

 

Medhufushi just moved into the lead

yeah...   we talked to one of the waiters about the kids, and how we'd like to bring them back with us one day...  he got all excited and said they never have kids to stay on Medhufushi... 

 

 

I don't think we'd take the kids with us if we returned...    

 

they wouldn't appreciate it
