Our Own Private Hideaway

Island Hideaway is paradise on earth. There, I've said it. What was supposed to be a quick two-day stop-over turned into a five day mini-break as Liz and I indulged ourselves in the seven-star luxury facilities at the island of Dhonakulhi, in the northern atoll of Thilandhunmathee. This is a re...

9 Knots In No Wind
