We're having a pretty slow start this morning. Marilyn would normally be going to a Craft group but is giving it a miss. Instead we watched a Youtube video of someone called Brogan Tate enjoying a holiday in the Maldives. I've mentioned her before so I won't go into any more details. The resorts are wonderful and anyone would be enthused about making the effort to get there. It's not far from Australia, after all.
The problem is that the reality of life in the Maldives is not what you see at the resorts. It's a conservative Islamic country and women's rights are becoming more of an issue. Every now and again there are news reports which are worrying. You wonder whether it's appropriate to support a country which, in many ways, is denying rights to all its population. However, the reality is that Marilyn and I are no longer travelling so we'll never be faced with that dilemma.
