I won a dolphin cruise at sunset!
I’m wondering how they will serve the drinks with their flippers.
(note: sunset guaranteed [physics], dolphins not [whimsical beasties])

The island where I am staying has a daily treasure hunt. Tropical island? Treasure hunt? Bit of travel? THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DAN ACTIVITY!
Today I found the treasure first (three clues and a treasure chest, each about 1km apart) and won a prize. Huzzah!

The high temperature here in my location in the Maldives today was 28c.
It is almost midnight and the temperature is… 28c.
Gotta love being a speck in the middle of the ocean.

This is a clue to mal=bad in French, and bad dives would give you the bends.
The Maldives is also generally a diver’s paradise which might have made you think of it.

TIME IS UP and I have officially scored the point for today’s #HideAndPeake
But because this is a very fun one, I’m going to play this through until you guess it…
Cryptic clue - could you get “le bends” here?
Hurry up, my feet are wet and shrivelling up!

This was a clue to Malé, which I am near but not in, and I am a male. Terribly obtuse clues ahoy, sailor!

This is definitely an interesting #HideAndPeake. Cryptic clue that you almost certainly won’t get: Near me?
You made A Choice in that case

Fun fact, I don’t think any of the buildings on this island of the Maldives are three storeys or more tall.

Congrats to @ontimeoffblock.bsky.social for guessing correctly that I am in the Maldives! Why did you all think I was in London?! Score that one for Dan in #HideAndPeake
Hence, no streaming last week or next week. I am a bit far away in this incredible paradise - it is honestly astonishing.

I was about to give the clues:
It’s a quarter to midnight here and 28c (82F)
And
Mother, Lord, Four, El Salvador - as a cryptic hint.

Have I had jet lag? Well, my continuous fatigue makes it difficult to tell, but I would say yes I have had jet lag as a result of coming here. (sadly not Jet Lag The Game)
