‘A surprise for my wife’ by Peter Boer “I would start in the Maldives, where we could relax in our own picture-perfect beach sanctuary, then I would whirl her (my wife) off to Marrakech to delight in the riot of colour and culture that is mesmerising and unforgettable...and finally to St Tropez. The name evokes French fabulousness. To live it up in utter luxe at this bastion of hedonism would provide the champagne send-off for my surprise.”
