Top Secret in Hikkaduwa: A Review
There is a fantastic place in Hikkaduwa that we probably shouldn’t be telling you about because it is Top Secret. OK, to be fair the name of the place is Top Secret and I think that they wouldn’ t mind if we let the cat out of the bag since they are located right on Galle Road with a big sign promoting the spot. Located in Hikkaduwa close enough to all the action, but far enough away that you can relax, Top Secret is probably the best budget accommodation that we have ever stayed at.

Surving Paradise, Interview with Peter Rudiak-Gould
Just before leaving for India, we were given the opportunity to read Peter Rudiak Gould’s fantastic book Surviving Paradise, One Year on a Disappearing Island about his time in the Marshall Islands. I enjoyed the book so much, that I contacted Peter to ask him for some more insight into his writing and time spent on the island. He was kind enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to answer my questions. Hope you enjoy our first interview here at ThePlanetD
Surviving Paradise, One Year on a Disappearing Island
It takes great talent to talk about culture, politics and history while keeping the reader amused and immersed in the book. I am a traveler, but I will admit, there are very few travel novelists that I love reading. I find that I lose interest part way through the book because the author doesn’t have a lot to say. This was not the case with Surviving Paradise. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover.
