So after a total flying time of 6hrs we arrived in the Maldives a short speedboat transfer and we arrived in our beautiful surroundings. Really is paradise with added luxury - apparently the weather had been awful before we arrived but the rain generally came at night.

So easy just to chill around the beach and pool the service from the staff was fantastic and very personal - kids made a couple of friends - we were really sad to leave for Dubai the last leg - another 2 flights later total flying time of 6hrs (Ground Hog Day) and we arrived in Dubai.
