Thanks Rooz.
Your not wrong about the grog prices and the fact you can't bring any in to the Maldives. Talk about a captive sting!! :roll:
We had lunch at the undersea restaurant @ Conrad and you could NOT buy any wine by the glass!! It had to be a bottle ONLY,
with the cheapest starting @ US$125.00 !!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Any IDea on my lizard?

Must be something about images 2 and 3 in your Maldives post since they are the ones that grab me here as well. That second image in particular just scream off the screen at me.
