Geoff Moore walks with the Giants in the Seychelles
Walking with the giants of the Seychelles is now an option thanks to a new investment by Hilton Labriz on their Silhouette Island resort, creating the Giant Tortoise Sanctuary, housing tiny vulnerable tortoises found in the National Park.

Sunbathing, snorkelling and swimming in the Maldives

A great small boutique hotel in Sri Lanka’s capital
We stayed in Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, for two nights, and rather than choose one of the large luxury chain hotels around the historic fort, we opted for a 12-bedroom boutique hotel. The Uga Residence was slightly further out of the city centre but was still in a good location. The rooms are dotted around […]…

A trendy place to eat and drink in Colombo
During our two night stay in Colombo, we stayed at the boutique Uga Residence and found the nearby Park Street Mews: a pedestrianised cobbled mews of old warehouses, now converted into upmarket international restaurants and bars. Having enjoyed a chilled beer and lime soda during the heat of the day at Café Francais, we returned […]…
