Actually I'm probably wrong with that quote, I think they mean islands inhabited by locals, of which the one I stayed wasn't, the locals lived on a neighbouring island and came over by boat each day (apart from a few who had 'digs') so there are probably a good 500 islands that it could be

I'll leave it to tim to divulge where I was, it's obvious from his last post that he knows the place (even if he hasn't named it) It is THE BEST place in the world, if any of you ever get the chance to go... TAKE IT There is only one drawback, and that is you will compare every future holiday to this place, and they wont match it. A nice little story... when I was last there in 2011 they had just started a hydroponics farm, with the intention of becoming self sufficient in vegetables, well we snuck in to have a little look to be greeted by this VERY English voice "Can I show you around?", after a long chat I asked how he came to be working in Paradise. It seems he had been lecturing hydroponics at Reading Uni when he read a 'sitsvac' in the local paper 'Person required to undertake an interesting gardening position on a Madivian island' he applied just to find out what it was about, and they offered him a 2 year contract, he refused because he wouldn't leave his family, so they asked if his wife could help the locals refine their English, nett result - he and his wife had 2 years in the sun, in paradise doing jobs they loved. I've scanned our local papers looking to see if they want anyone to open & run a cattery but nothing yet. So it's over to you tim

When were you in Kuramathi? It's never gonna catch on, like "where's Wully", cos it's always closest to the lens We went first time '05 just the two of us. Our birthdays are both just after St. Valentines Day, so we had three celebrations while we were there. Went back the following year, just the two of us again. Took the kids (13 and 17 at the time) the year after. Just the youngest came the next year. Then they got funny about school time hols, so that had to stop. Will go back one day, maybe a different island though. If they are still there, climate change and all that.....
