Interesting with them talking about having Minke Whale on the menu in the hotel. We ate Minke Whale when we went to Iceland the first time, just for the experience. It's not an experience we'd like to repeat. Not the worst thing in the world, but texturally unpleasant and certainly something you'd need to really acquire a taste for. #AmazingHotels

#AmazingHotels coming up soon on BBC will feature a hotel in the Lofoten Islands of #Norway. We have visited Norway so many times but not to that latitude yet. We were *this* close to getting up that far a few years ago but then a little global virus spoiled plans. It's still on the list, of course. #Travel

Catching up with #AmazingHotels with Rob and Monica checking out JOALI Maldives. It looks incredible, and you'd expect no less given the ludicrous price you'd need to pay to stay there.

I can't say the Maldives have ever appealed to us. Definitely pretty, but I think we'd be bored out of our skulls after a day or two; we like our history and architecture and culture when we go off on jaunts.

As fans of #travel we love programmes like Amazing Hotels even if the places they visit are typically outside our price range, and what's particularly nice about the new series that's started tonight, and which we recorded and are watching now, is that the utterly obnoxious prick that is Giles Coren has been replaced by Rob Rinder. A major upgrade in presenting duties for Monica Galetti.
