As jobs go, you can't be asked for much better than this - two weeks in the Maldives, travelling to a different island each day by sea plane or speed boat. I was out there doing some more work for First Choice.

Although it was a very nice job I was actually kept so busy that I only managed two quick swims in the sea in the whole two weeks I had there - I really was working! Unfortunately I did have some rather lousy weather for quite a bit of the trip and very sadly I lost my dear old South African hat off the back of a boat!
