To many the Maldives is the dream destination: turquoise waters, white sands, palm trees, cocktails. Eyeing the drizzle through his office window one lunchtime, Tom Chesshyre impulsively bought a plane ticket. He had no hotel bookings, a long break from work, & a sense of ”what the hell”. What better place to escape to than paradise? Rather than the glitzy, five-star hideaways favoured by Wills & Kate or the Beckhams, he wanted to see the real Maldives, skirting around the archipelago`s edges staying at simple guesthouses, & using cargo ships & ferries. Until recently outsiders were banned from islands not officially endorsed as ”tourist resorts”. But now 1, 000 sandy shores had opened up in the Indian Ocean. Tom travels in a giant circle 600 miles around the many islands & atolls of the remote nation
- the flattest on Earth
- taking him to communities that haven`t seen an outsider for decades, gorgeous beaches, colourful characters aplenty, cat-&-mouse politics (including an encounter with a former dictator), dodgy backstreets, the odd posh hotel (blagging a room) & many a rocky sea.
