Fishing at sunrise- Thoddoo, Maldives

By Nathan

Our host Majeed took us to do something he did in his childhood.  We went fishing for baby jack fish just after sunrise!  We went down to the beach around 6:30am to catch the fish before the heat of the sun made it too hot.  We caught hermit crabs and used their guts as bait.  The jack fish we caught were only a couple of inches long.  I had never fished for fish this small before.  Majeed's fishing line was very long and wobbly.  It was unique!

In all, we caught 10 fish and then our chef Maria cooked them up for breakfast!  She fried the whole thing up with salt.  I was the only kid brave enough to try it but it definitely wasn't my favourite food.

    Hi Nathan. What time did you go out to fish? Is it easier to catch certain fish at sunrise vs the middle of the day, or was it so you went at sunrise so that you could catch your breakfast? How did these tiny fish get cooked meaning apart from gutting them, did the cook remove the head, the tail, the scales or the skin and if she did, how much of the fish was left to actually eat? Thanks, Nana

    Second hand paddle boards are a great way to get into the sport of paddle boarding without spending a lot of money. There are many different brands and types of paddle boards available on the market, and it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. However, by doing some research and knowing what to look for, you can find a great deal on a used paddle board.

Tongariro Crossing - New Zealand North Island

By
Sorry for the brief hiatus folks - limited wifi slowed me down!  We did the Tongariro crossing 15yrs ago and fell in love with it then - we knew our kids had to experience it too. Ummm... can anyone say AMAZING! For those unfamiliar, the Tongariro Crossing is a 20km hike/tramp that takes you into the caldera(s)  of Mt. Ngauruhoe (more famously known as Mt. Doom in Tolkein's Lord Of The Rings trilogy). The mountain lies above Lake Taupo - New Zealand's biggest lake - which makes for a fitting backdrop throughout the 2nd half of the hike. Turangi - not far from Tongariro National Park We holed-up in VRBO/HomeAway a little town called Turangi, close to Tongariro National Park.  Cheryl's wrote a post about Turangi - check it out ! The hike route This hike is, very debatably, the best day hike in the world - certainly the best we've ever done.   If you like the outdoors, you're fit, and you can do only one thing in NZ - hike the Tongariro Crossing.

Lanterns and Rice Paddies- Hoi An, Vietnam

By Cheryl
When we were in the planning phase of this trip, I wasn't sure I wanted to go to Vietnam.  I was nervous about stories I had heard about crime, health and safety, crowded buses, etc. and I wasn't really sure how comfortable I would be taking the kids to this country.  After doing some research, I came across some information about a small town called Hoi An and  decided this might be a great place to spend some stationary time- soaking up the culture, enjoying cheap food and doing some school work.  So that's just what we did.  We spent 10 lovely, low key days in Hoi An, Vietnam.
