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.

Velika Planina - Slovenia

By
Velika Planina, in a Nutshell This could have been Heidi's village Ever wish you were Heidi ? Well, it turns out, you can find the backdrop you need for your make-believe at Velika Planina in Slovenia. You can hike (a few hours) or take a cable car up to a high-altitude plain where you will find a village nestled on the lee-side of an ever-present windy peak.  A hearty people live here - a tribe of herdsmen.  They build unique huts, in an ancient way, and allow tourists to explore their space/land. This is not an adrenaline jolt, but it is quaint and unique and undeniably historical.  Come for the views, stay for the peace and quiet. Getting Here The cable car runs fast and saves a lot of time and effort... we'd recommend it You can hike up to this peak from the valley, but it is pretty high at 1600m - a good slog on a service road.   Alternatively, you can take a cable car up from  Kamniška Bistrica .  We did the latter - the kids wanted to 'save the...

Slovenia - Ljubljana

By
 A Long Time Coming... COVID wasn't much fun for anyone. We fared well, but amongst the things COVID destroyed was our wanderlust - we stayed close to home, and leaned into Canada . Well, with COVID gone(ish), we've started to feel the "itch" again... so we're back on the road - this time on a Euro travel leg.  We pickup our adventures in Ljubljana, Slovenia.   Why Ljubljana (Slovenia)? Slovenia is  beautiful .  It's northern alpine regions are spectacular, boasting emerald lakes, rugged mountains and a notable lack of traffic.  The entire country feels under-sold - like tourism is about to beat down its door... and that's why we came. Ljubljana is in the center of Slovenia, wedged between Venice and Zagreb.  It remains a quaint, friendly, accessible, well-organized and authentic experience.  Ljubljana is a great place to decompress after overseas travel.  Once you've reset your circadian rhythm, Ljubljana becomes an incredible launch po...
