Maldives Beauty
We've been to the Seychelles but have not made it to the Maldives yet. Hopefully soon. It looks like you are having a great time.

Beach life
Thanks guys. Maldives is a marvelous part of the world, up there with Seychelles for natural beauty. But for me Seychelles is still number one, it's the stunning rocks on the coast that is the clincher. The most magnificent islands I've seen!

Good for the soul
It is good for my soul to see these photos right now. At home, where I am right now, it is ice cold and it feels like we have 19 hours of night. I desperately need light and the warm weather you had in the Philippines /Ake

I'm sorry that Boracay didn't work out so well...
I hope you survived the possible case of dengue fever. I also got dengue fever at a beach...Hua Hin, Thailand...and spent the entire vacation in bed.

Hi Bob, I'll never know for sure, but was very unwell for a while. It even affected my vision and that was scary!

I have swum with whale shark
When we were in Yucatan we booked a tour where we were allowed to swim with whale sharks. I came close enough to one of them that I actually touched it. It was an awesome expereince. The Chocolate hills also look stunning by the way. /Ake

Totally get your fascination with Komodo dragons
I totally understand why you wanted to see Komodo dragons. I had the same wish 20 years ago when I went there (I have a blog post from there if you are interested). My dreams of Indonesia also included to see Krakatau, which I did a week or so later. So I, like you, fulfilled two lifegoals on the same trip, just not the same day. I just googled the current price for visiting Komodo Island. It is far more expensive today that it was 20 years ago, but not as high as I thought it was. By the way, your "I-am-sitting-with-a-real-Komodo-dragon"-picture is better than mine. /Ake

Dragon photo
Thank you so much Ake. It's sort of an optical illusion, and the guide took photos that make us look a lot closer than we actually were. A great experience!
