I am so looking forward to this trip to The Maldives. Rhubarb told me that it is paradise when the sun shines, but when it rains it really does rain, so I am going prepared.

Well I’ve arrived and so far so good. I have stopped to pose here in my spotty swimming pants so you can see how clear the sea is.

Ah, this is the life – not a spot of rain in sight. Here I am relaxing and soaking up the rays on the deck of my water villa.

Time to cool off in the sea. I need to be careful that I don’t slip off these steps. I don’t want to show myself up.

Drying off after my dip. My swimming pants were too wet and I didn’t bring a spare pair, so I hid my modesty with a large shell. I hope there are no crabs living in there!

I couldn’t believe it. I saw a wild bunny on the golf course – yes, this was taken in The Maldives. That will outdo Rhubarb. These Maldivian bunnies look like our Dutch bunnies. Sadly, he didn’t stay still enough for me to get closer for a chat.

However, my new friend Ray was much more friendly. You can also see his wife Raye coming over to say hello too.
