It IS a stunning place. If you want a holiday where you don't see your shoes between the day you arrive and the day you depart, this is it!

As Steve said, you better get saving quick as the islands are gradually disappearing into the sea If I could go back tomorrow, I would!

It's not too bad a flight if you stage it. First time I went, we flew direct and it was a mare. Second time, we stopped in Qatar, had the chance for a shower and refreshments... was fantastic! (And the duty free shops were great value for money!)

Just to rub salt in the wound for Steve, I'll see if I can get my Seaplane VidClip uploaded so he can see what he missed! The pilots are mostly Canadian or South African bush pilots and COMPLETELY mad!
