Back to Being a Two Contractor Family

Maldives is chavs central plus aren't they having riots there?

Have you been then?

Hardly if you go to the right places, however that is only one option.

[woohoo]

Yep I've been there 3 times, each time to a more expensive location. Last time we paid 12k and the resort was pretty good. Paradise Island was by far the chaviest. The plane was full of chavs, god knows where they all went.

Spent some time on the capital Male and believe me the people there look at you with contempt. Most of the workers on the Island resorts are not from the Maldives. The capital has had a few riots, believe the government is now quite a strict Islamist government.

I remember on the local news they had a British guy on advising them not to go down the cheap package route butcharge more and make it more exclusive so they could reduce numbers and look after the environment better. I don't think they took his advice.

I'm made up for you. No really, congratulations on being one of life's great success stories

If you call finally getting a decent contract after a long, hard time looking a "great success story" you may well be right......
Oh hang on

[ClothCap]

Only jesting good luck!

I've been to two 5 star places and enjoyed both, although I go for the diving too. I appreciate there is more package stuff there now and everything that brings.
Mali has always been a tulip hole and the indigenous people have never worked in the resorts.

Try Zanzibar. Spent a week there before hitting safari. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Always good to hear that somebody has managed to land a gig in these lean times.

Cheers! I'll have a look, have you been Mozambique, always fancied it there....

Agreed, it's only her 2nd contract, so she was beginning to think it wouldn't happen
