😎 WEATHER IN THE MALDIVES

One common question I get asked (and one of the biggest misconceptions about The Maldives) is the weather differences between the seasons.
So thought I'd share this handy video which explains the difference between peak season and low season months and why many regular Maldives visitors love the great bargains you can pick up during the UK summer.

There’s a post office at the end of the world located in Tierra del Fuego National Park that stamps your passport.

Isn’t this the cutest 🐧

Thanks to Hayley HX Hurtigruten for sharing.

Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago at South America’s southernmost tip, shared by Chile and Argentina. It’s known for its dramatic landscape of snowy mountains, glaciers, tundra and wind-sculpted trees. Its main island, Isla Grande, is home to the Argentine resort town of Ushuaia. Sometimes called “the End of the World,” Ushuaia is a gateway to the region and Antarctica to the south.
