Maldives Holidays

Chris Goldring

The Maldives is a magnificent collection of coral islands set deep in the heart of the Indian Ocean and would be better described as heaven on earth. This collection of over 1000 islands spreads across 820 kilometres from North to South and 120 km’s from east to west. Out of these hundreds of small but precious landscapes only 202 have year round residents with 87 islands being exclusive resorts in their own right.

Maldives Atolls

An atoll is an island of coral that partially or completely encircles a lagoon. The Atolls in the Maldives were formed over thousands of years after Volcanic eruptions were eroded leading to the formation of the coral hence the atolls. The coral reefs are home to an abundance of marine life and the scuba diving is renowned worldwide.

Holiday to Botswana and Zimbabwe during May 2011

Zimbabwe Review

Seeing only Victoria Falls (the town and the falls) doesn't tell a traveler much about the country itself. The town is not at all representative of the rest of the country. While the falls themselves are well worth seeing, the political oppression that has racked the country and ruined its economy...
