Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
A companion pictorial blog post to Olhuveli by Day, and this time when the sun sets. Our Ang Mo bud quipped that he was half-expecting for a bunch of very drunk Aussies to show up at any time. Fortunately, that
It was literally impossible to take a bad picture at the Olhuveli Beach & Spa Maldives. A collection of pictures from our point of arrival and across the four days we stayed at the property. I’ll do a longer commentary
