As long as there are stars above you you'll never need to doubt it.

Honeymoon photos time. We went to a tiny island in the Maldives. Via seaplane.





The seaplane dropped us off on this sketchy floating pontoon thing. The sea was pretty rough but fortunately I was there looking tough to make Rachel feel safe.

View from our room (crap photo). The sea was like 30 yards away.





So many tropical fish under the north jetty. They fed them some nights so you could hang out and see turtles, rays and massive tuna.











We snorkeled every day. The fish we saw were absolutely astounding. I even swam with big turtles - twice! I can die happy after that, it was humbling and I'm super grateful for the experience.




Right by the shoreline you got baby sharks swimming by. We saw lots. Apparently they swim there because they're scared of the bigger sharks in deeper waters. Awww! They seemed almost cute after we found that out.








Man, my stomach must have hated me. Each meal I got from the buffet had at least 3 types of meat. This one has pork, chicken, gammon and octopus. Yikes!

These little fellas, affectionately known as 'funny birds', kept me amused for the whole 2 weeks. Their massive comedy feet and silly walk made me want to smuggle one home.




You can still smoke indoors in the Maldives which means you can play pool with one hangin' off your lip. Trouble is, even something as sedate as pool can make you break a sweat. It was pretty much 30 degrees constantly.

Happy Anivaseri!! Ha Ha! I hooked this up with the hotel manager for Rach to celebrate our 1 week "anivaseri".















You know how you make friends on holiday and can tolerate that they're very different from you because you're away from home and you have the chance to reinvent yourself? Anyway, you promise to keep in touch but when you get home you just think "Piiisssss Offff!"
Actually one couple were good people so I shouldn't be too harsh.


OK, the photos are about to get pretty gay. Normal service will be resumed one day.

On our last night the chefs paraded through the restaurant banging saucepan lids and chanting whatnot.
