Turtles, dolphins and a shock cyclone, my Maldives holiday diary

If you’re planning a Maldives holiday 2020 then I would recommend staying in more than one resort.

My Maldives holiday was planned over nine days, with an itinerary at Coco Plam Dhuni Kolhu, Coco Bodu Hith and The Residence including snorkeling with a marine biologist, a sunset dolphin cruise, paddle boarding, jet skiing and spa treatments.

If you want to see elephants in Sri Lanka then don’t go here, my visit to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage made me feel very uncomfortable throughout.

Is this the best brunch in the UK?

There wasn’t a lot of other people there, but more fool them because I think the Rose Leaf is the best brunch in Edinburgh.
